In detail
Your open tabs and history are checked first. When nothing there is what you want, the web is one row away.
Whatever you type, the last rows offer to search for it on the web, one row per engine. When nothing in your tabs or history matches, those rows are all you see. With :s in front, they’re the only rows.
Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo are on by default. In the Search Engines setting you can turn on Yahoo or Brave Search, or turn off any engine you never use, so the rows match how you search.
Type something that looks like a web address and TabCmdr adds an Open URL row above the search rows. ↵ opens it in a new tab, with no need to type https:// first.
Search from the box that’s already open, without clicking into the address bar or opening a new tab first.
Open tabs, recent history and closed tabs are matched before the search rows, so a page you already have doesn’t get searched for again.
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and Brave Search. Turn on the ones you use.

↑ and ↓ move between engines, and ↵ opens the results.
