美中不足，不能搜索字符串中间，只能搜有左边界的内容

A good start. An extension like this has to provide some customization via options otherwise it can't work for many people. In my case, multiple results for one tab/url doesn't make sense but I see gmail iframe several times (I read the faq, but for a user it doesn't make a difference as he is just switching tab, not iframes). Similarly the resulting tab list can be trimmed to just list the name of the tab and url rather than page content which in most cases will just distract when you want to find something quickly. The shortcuts looked useful and experience was fast. Hopefully this was helpful.

I would call this one as the most underrated extensions of 2020, it saves so much time searching through tabs. I can't recommend this enough!
