Google is testing a working search field in Chrome’s redesigned three-dot menu. It can find browser commands, bookmarks and recently visited sites, while other experimental changes include grouped controls, a scrollbar and pinned menu sections. Google has not announced a stable release date.

  • In the latest Chrome Canary build, the menu search returns matching commands, bookmarks and recently visited websites, with results grouped by type.
  • The redesign also changes the menu layout and scrolling: prominent buttons replace some entries, controls are grouped, and a scrollbar replaces scroll arrows. The search field and footer remain pinned while the middle section scrolls.
  • The changes remain experimental in Chrome Canary; Google has not confirmed when, or whether, they will reach a stable release.
