Tab Batch Management

Importance of the Feature

Tab Batch Management is one of the most important features in Sugoi Search. Without this feature, Sugoi Search itself would be incomplete, and it serves as a decisive differentiating factor from other parallel search tools.

Challenges and Solutions for Parallel Search

Problems with Traditional Parallel Search

When performing parallel searches, tabs inevitably increase in large numbers:

Parallel search on 10 sites → 10 additional Chrome tabs
Screen becomes cluttered, mentally exhausting
Increased operational stress, decreased efficiency

Solution through Tab Batch Management

To solve this problem, we provide the Tab Batch Management feature:

Refreshing feeling of consolidating tabs at once: Like throwing a large number of tabs into the trash
Complete state restoration: Ability to recreate consolidated tabs by window
Freeing up mental space: Reducing cognitive load through tab organization

Balance Between Offense and Defense

Parallel Search: Offensive feature (actively collecting information)
Tab Batch Management: Defensive feature (organizing and managing collected information)

The balanced combination of these two features improves the overall quality of the tool.

Basic Usage

Button Operations on the Right

Consolidate Current Window: Consolidate only the tabs in the currently open window
Consolidate All Windows: Consolidate tabs from all open windows

Customization through Settings

Blacklist Feature: Specify sites you don't want to consolidate using regular expression patterns
Automatic Consolidation by Time: Automatically consolidate tabs after a certain period

Utilizing the Blacklist Feature

Why a Blacklist is Necessary

When consolidating tabs, there may be tabs you don't want to close:

During Discord calls: Closing the tab disconnects the call
Working in Notion: Don't want to accidentally close tabs for notes or searches
During important work: Don't want to interrupt ongoing work

Blacklist Setting Examples

code

discord\.com
notion\.so
.*\.google\.com

Flexible Data Management

CSV Support

Export Function: Output consolidated tab information as CSV
Import Function: Restore past tab information from CSV
LLM Era Compatibility: Enables later analysis and debugging

Analysis Possibilities

Using LLMs, the following analyses become possible:

Browsing Pattern Analysis: What kind of sites you're viewing
Concept Exposure Tracking: What concepts you're encountering
Information Collection Optimization: Improving efficient information gathering methods

Development Background

Feature Origin

In the early stages of Sugoi Search, the Tab Batch Management feature did not exist. However, while actually using parallel search, the following issues became apparent:

Too many accumulated tabs making operation difficult
Increased stress making continued use difficult
Decreased efficiency in information gathering

The Tab Batch Management feature was developed to solve these issues.

Integration with Parallel Search

Tab Batch Management is closely related to Parallel Search:

Gather Information with Parallel Search: Collect broad information from multiple sites
Organize with Tab Batch Management: Efficiently manage collected information
Restore When Needed: Recreate consolidated information as needed

This combination enables efficient information collection and management that was not possible with conventional search methods.

Tips for Effective Use

Regular Consolidation: Regularly consolidate before tabs become too numerous
Utilize Blacklist: Protect tabs for important ongoing work
Leverage Data: Use CSV exports for analysis
Coordinate with Parallel Search: Use both features in a balanced way

Summary

Tab Batch Management is an important feature supporting Sugoi Search's parallel search functionality. It solves the problem of increasing tabs and enables efficient information collection and management.

I sincerely hope that you will master this feature along with parallel search.
