Learn how to search across all your Google Gmail and Drive accounts in 3 simple steps.
With all your Gmail and Drive accounts in Wavebox, you can search across them all in a matter of seconds! Find out how.
One of the main benefits of having all your web apps in Wavebox is that you can quickly search across everything you use on the web, which includes apps, tabs, pins, bookmarks, windows and recent history.
Unified search is a Wavebox core feature that we are continually improving, and in the latest iteration we've added a Gmail and Google Drive search to the Quick Switch. This enables you to quickly do a keyword search across all your Google apps in Wavebox.
Using the Quick Switch to search Gmail & Drive.
- Launch the Quick Switch: Click on the magnifying class in the titlebar top-right. Or use a Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl&S on mac, or alt&S on Windows and Linux. (You can change these in Settings > General > Keyboard Shortcuts).
- Type a search term into the search field, and then click on the Gmail or Drive icons to search across all those accounts in Wavebox.
- Browse the results: Wavebox will then launch a new window and display all your search results as tabs for you to go through. Tabs are opened in the correct cookie profiles (containers) for each account, so clicking on a link in the tab will take you to the correct place in the main Wavebox window.
