This have me a hairbrained idea for a browser extension that drops every web page you visit into a private Lucene database.

You might want to look into WorldBrain's Memex extension. I think it crawls every page you visit into IndexedDB so you can do full-text searches later.

I’ve been building essentially that, but more than just websites: https://apse.io. I am really pleased with how it works - just released v2.0!

I was kind of having the same idea, except any site you bookmark gets added to a personal web crawler, and then you have your own search site for things you find interesting.

This exists on iPhone/iPad! DevonThink2Go, local crawl/search + optional encrypted sync over self-hosted WebDAV or public cloud services. Can also take/search markdown notes.
