      @Opera Team pls revert that change, the new search feature is really impractical!

          I agree totally... I thought I did something wrong to lose this button. The current situation is most annoying!

              @leocg Haeh? Why temporary?? Please leave it... It is one of the advantage features of Opera.

                @burnout426 Thank you so much as well! For someone dealing with 200+ tabs, not having them as a list to close what I don't need anymore was a nightmare.

                  I haven't combed all Flags since v58... they've just become to much, so I really appreciate your effort!

                    I have already dealt with a similar problem, in the upper right corner there was an icon "Recently closed tabs", after updating it was replaced by the icon"Search by tabs". opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs - here the function of closed tabs is enabled, but it is not displayed

                      This topic doesn't answer my question, since I don't have the opera checkbox://flags/#search-in-open-tabs

                        @overcast Are you using Opera 70? If so, the flag was removed and there isn't any way to get back the tabs menu.

                            Why would this have been done? It's quite clear this move goes against what the majority of the community wants.

                              Look, Opera is "free as beer" software - that means (amongst other things) that community doesn't matter. We as Opera users are product, Google and other big fishes are customers. Apparently adding YASO (Yet Another Search Option) allows to gather more sellable information about product's (our) behavior 😞

                              At least they added closed tabs part to "Search in tabs" button. If this does work as previous button, then no big trouble.

                                For any devs reading this, just here to add another voice of dissatisfaction to a feature that they did not need to change. Wonder where they get their ideas for changes and where the threads about changing the recently closed tabs are. Anyways, even more disappointed that they removed the flag to fix their downgrade. The current implementation is very limited and doesn't allow me to see more than 3 closed tabs.

                                  Ok, I (and obviously a lot of other users) absolutely need this button, and as the developers seem to give a f**k on what the users need it's time for me to switch off auto-update function...

                                    @tyllurius How do you do that? I've been searching for that functionality for a while, but I've not seen a flag for it.

                                            The flag that fixed the problem is not working anymore and that damned search in recent tabs button "resurrected itself" with the latest update. The developer behind this this change diserves to be fired And defenestrated!
