@tapedi2471 Well, experience tells me that it's true and, most probably relevant.
And they didn't remove it for nothing, they almost certainly had a good reason to change the feature. To something better in my opinion.

It's not a sustainable solution.

roberto64 last edited by@leocg Do you think these are "only complaints"? His answer seems to me very little empathetic.
In this case we do not make a complaint for pleasure, we are arguing something that is evident: the functionality is clearly affected.
It is not a matter of taste, or "only complaints", or wanting to annoy the developers because we feel like it, there are fundamentals and it is evident that trimming is impractical.
And aldo, you as a moderator seem to support that, instead of seeing that there are many of us who argue why the change seems bad to us.
Nothing personal, neither with you nor with the developers.
If you think we are all wrong, you should explain why you think that cut is better and how Opera improves.
You or someone should, out of respect for us, explain that to us. -

@roberto64 I don't have to explain anything to you, but let's go.
The new feature allow you to search for your opened tabs, including its contents. For me it seems very useful if you have lots of tabs opened.
Although it only shows the last 3 closed tabs, what I think would be enough, you can search for your closet tabs, what is better than look to a long list. If they add possibility to search for closed tabs content, it would be even better. -

if you have lots of tabs opened
How many open tabs at the same time do you have daily, in average?
I have no more than 10, usually 3-4 tabs, often 1-2.@leocg said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:

InstantSearch allows doing that, all what was need is to add the 'content search' feature.
Instead of breaking 3 features (InstantSearch, TabMenu, Tabs cycler popup) -

This is mainly a forum for users to help each other. Although Opera employees read it and may reply eventually, we should not expect it to happen that often.
If I don't mistake, the new commenting system in the blog was implemented to improve the feedback between forum and blog, between users and Opera team.

I guess that's why this feature confuses me. When I first saw it, I immediately thought to myself "do people actually open so many tabs that they don't remember what they have open, requiring a search feature???"

Consequently you don't need to search for open tabs ( most of the complainers here too), also you don't need Ctrl+Tab cycler as it seems, and Workspaces too.

Instant Search, as said, was removed for lack of use
I know and heard it many times already. Maybe it was not popular, but how does the TabMenu refers here.. if one feature is not popular, then it automatically means that some another one is not popular as well?
*As I stated before, they could just restyle the Tab menu and add the search field there and, as a result, no complaints at all (most probably only positive feedback because TabMenu would be more clear and easer to read, but the functionality would be the same + 'search' option aditionally). -

try improving tabs management
Obvious conclusion.
And not just a try, it really improved the tabs management, and 'Search in tabs' worsened it. -

I made an account only to repeat what everyone has said. Please bring the Recently Closed Tabs button back. At least you could allow the option to switch between the current Search in Tabs button and the Recently Closed Tabs button, or maybe have both buttons on there.
I've been using the current iteration of this browser for like 5 years now, and I loved having easy access to my recently closed tabs. It's almost an essential feature for me, especially when sometimes I have to close 10+ tabs, and might accidentally close one that I wanted to stay open.
Yes I know I can still use the Menu>History thing, but like, that 2 more clicks, and far more clunky to use. Come on. Yall replaced this perfectly good and very useful feature with this useless, redundant feature. Ctrl+TAB is already a thing that people can use. We don't need to have the button on there, too.

This is just a personal theory and I’m sorry for my english text.
I know that this kind of functionality exists: Imagine if the developers had access to our usage patterns. The areas (UI) of our web browser where we click on the most. Then it's easy for them to determine what functionality we use, how often, etc.
So, considering the total number of Opera users, on this subject we are frequent users of this feature and maybe we represent a minority regarding this usage. So, it is not hard to believe that these same developers have chosen to remove/hide this feature in favor of another one because we do not represent, we do not reach, their goal in terms of percentage of usage.
Do not forget that in a capitalist world, new functionalities are the most important thing, so keeping old features is not beneficial: for the Opera employee and for the potential new user of this software.
