Opera 70 introduces some new features in the browser, the most prominent one is probably the improved tab search functionality. The Opera browser supported tab searching before but the feature ran searches across page titles and URLs only when you invoked the feature.
Now, with Opera 70, page content is also included in the search provided that the site is loaded in the tab.
The More Important Changes in Opera 70
The ‘Search in Tabs‘ also features tab content search. That means as you type keywords. Opera 70 can find that not only in the tab title, or URL. Of course, it can search in Tab contents as well. This is a massive productivity boost for heavy users.
The history and bookmark panels in Opera’s browser sidebar now have a wider search field. This making it easier to find history items and specific bookmarks.
In response to user suggestions, the Search in Tabs feature has been updated to include a recently-closed tabs section at the top for quicker access.
Beyond searching through URLs and tab titles, in the new released version, matching text from tab content is also included when using the Search in Tabs feature. To access the Search in Tabs feature, simply use the “Ctrl+Space” keyboard shortcut.
Last but not least, the team behind Opera browser have added some fun, cute, and useful icons to Workspaces. This give you even more customization options as well as easier visual reference.
More detailed improvements can be found in this change log.
