In Chrome if you open the history and hit "show full history," you get a search bar that works better for history.

But you can’t search inside the content. It just searches the titles.

Does Firefox search IN the content of the pages you visited?

Almost can't imagine and in my test just now, that did not work.

Where's "show full history"? I don't see anything resembling that, nor any obscure dropdowns or popouts that might be hiding it.

The "show full history" menu option in History menu they mentioned is Mac only. On Windows, you can see the "show full history" option by holding the Go Back button at top left (hover your mouse on it you'll see a tooltip suggesting this).

The sad part is, that option just opens the built-in History page, just like pressing Ctrl + H, which I believe that's not what we wanted at all.

I think Chrome just redefined "full" while it regularly deletes history entries older than three months.

Ah, right, Linux has "show full history" in the Back button menu (which can also be opened by right-clicking).

And yeah, ^H isn't fun(/useful).

⌘+Y On the mac. It's the bottom option in the history menu.
