        @sgunhouse This is really a bad move IMO. And don't you hate when a browser upgrade make you go to the forum to look for a button that was always there because it has been replaced by a far slower, almost useless one?

        Constructive idea: Next time instead of replacing it, just add the new one with a notification pill explaining what's going on and providing the direct configuration link.
        Thanks

          Glad that's been resolved, too. Not obvious why it was thought desirable to opt out from such a convenient feature.

            @jackano Having an option is not always an option. So you can't always have all the features together.

              "search in tabs" can be everything, but it is not a feature.
              What crap they did in this update, horrible.

                As I'm one of those who never has more than 5 tabs open at a time, search in tabs is almost useless to me. But Leo and I are not developers, Opera Software will do what they want not what I want.

                  We can make noise so that Opera listens and does not remove this option so good!

                          Disable opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs - does work for now. If they remove that flag altogether, then I will seriously consider changing browser.

                              @donq Thanks very much - it worked - i though it was that flag but hadn't tried disable ! I agree if they remove the option I will be very unhappy!

                                Thank you for the flag ! And yes this thing suck at 1000 percent, Opera really need to add this as an option because fullscreen search is useless for me.

                                  @baptiste-r1807 Flags exist for developers to enable/disable a feature during its development/testing process. After the feature is enabled in stable builds for a while, its flag is removed.

                                    Thank you for the tips. Unfortunately, it's the Opera programmers' "fault". There is no solution.
                                    "Search in open tabs" is another matter. And I don't need it.
                                    I will not add anything new.
                                    I will repeat the words @tareqtareq."Previously there was a Tab Menu in the top Right Corner from which active tabs, recently closed tabs and tabs those are open in other device , could be seen. But in the new updates (Version:68.0.3618.46 and 68.0.3618.56) that menu isn't there instead a new option included called 'Search in tabs'. I appreciate new integration but why remove old option? I used that Tab Menu option frequently, but now simply its not there. Really sad. Please bring back the old one."

                                      I also came here to see if it was really gone as that is one feature I really liked in Opera.
                                      Perhaps they could have it as an option to add it back in, beside the search.
                                      Or, they could have the search open tabs and recently closed tabs within that search icon. (Before it had recently closed and below it, open tabs)

                                      I basically never have to search what tabs I've got open but I do often want to reopen a tab I recently closed, sometimes because I closed it by accident and being able to quickly get it back is very much appreciated.

                                            @leocg Which is idiotic. The feature was sound, it was one of the things that set opera apart from the competition and now it's replaced by something that is of no real value. It's use cases are questionable.

                                            Thanks you, opera developers! Ruined the browser. Continue down this path and you'll lose what's left of your fanbase.
