I often wish that I could do a full text search of every page I've already visited.

Safari’s history used to crudely do that somewhat. You could open up the history and search for any word that appeared on a page you browsed and it would filter it to list the matching pages.

Not exactly what you are asking here (if I understand correctly) but I have been using historio.us for a year or so and I am happy with it.

I'm working in that in my "self host the internet offline from your browsing history" project

https://github.com/c9fe/22120

It makes a web archive from everything you browse, and lately I've been working on the full text search

Seems it requires chrome to work?

Wow, your reading comprehension is amazingly good. Yep, that's correct.

There's a link to more info on the Chrome thing but it 404s

Thank you for saving that, pirate niki! I think i saved a copy as well, right? Yep, here https://archive.is/jcURO

I've got lots of these archives of issues and comments lying around. It's good to see more!

Btw i knew you'd show up on a comment thread where i posted my stuff. You're like obsessed with my project, right? Why, haha? Maybe because you've got you own archive project, the archive box. "Competition". Hahaha. I hope you haven't got to the point of "search alerts" obsessed, hahaha, don't fret too much, niki pirate! Everyone check out pirate's the archive box, he made the trip here, do him a favor!

Thanks for showing up niiki, it's good to see you again. See you next time!

I didn't save it, it was picked up by archive.org's own crawler in Nov. Also I think you're way overthinking this, I just saw this because it's a comment thread on a post about ArchiveBox. It's a little weird that you frame it as competition, there are plenty of open source archiving projects, it's not a war. We can be civil, you don't have to mock me or do stuff like blocking me on Github, I have no beef with 22120.

I'm just looking for the link, I'll post it when i find it. Just a sec!

Edit ok!

Here's my reply: https://pastebin.com/0gM0LN9j?oh46khe5gh8in

You can pretend it's like that, but that's not how it is. I'll reply you tomorrow

I think the way it is now in the readme accurately reflects the state of development. Still possible, but not actively working on and not currently interested in any non chrome stuff.

But at any time, it may just come back, you know? Boom.. and then it's back. Haha !

Which suits me perfectly for where i am right now. :)

Forever. Site owners will shit purple Twinkies and put the developers under a copyright cosh if the feature is released or not removed.

It could respect caching headers, just make it visible in the UI and show “expired” content if current content is unavailable. I don’t see how this would be an issue for site owners, they could adjust their content headers if they want something different.
