When you have dozens of tabs open in a Safari window, it can be difficult to find a specific tab in the tab bar. Here's how to quickly search for a specific tab from the open tabs within the current window in Safari on Mac.

Searching for tabs using the “Tab Overview”
Safari's Tab Overview screen includes a built-in feature that lets you search all open tabs in the current window. The only downside is that if you have multiple Safari windows open, you'll have to perform this action in each window.

To get started, open Safari on your Mac and visit several websites in multiple tabs. Then click the Tab Overview button in the upper-right corner of the Safari window.
(Alternatively, you can choose View > Tab Overview in the menu bar or press Shift+Command+\ on your keyboard.)
You'll now see all your open tabs in a grid view that Apple calls "Tab Overview." If you're using a modern version of Safari on your Mac, you'll see a "Search Tabs" bar in the upper-right corner.
(If you don't see the search bar there, scroll up to reveal it. We recommend updating Safari immediately because using an older browser is a huge security risk.)
In the Tab Overview screen in Safari 14 or later, just start typing the name of the website or page title you're looking for—you don't need to click the search bar. In older versions of Safari, you'll need to click the search bar first or press Command+F.

Safari will immediately begin filtering your results. When you find the tab you're looking for, click its thumbnail to switch to it.
Use it as long as you want to search your tabs. If you use Safari as your default browser on iPhone or iPad , this feature is available in the mobile version of Safari too!
