This is great but I want just simple full text search on all the history. Not title and url search, but full text. If it has semantic embeds on top, all the better. I am losing too many of the things I find.

Wondering why browsers neglected bookmarks and search history so much. They never progressed in the last 2 decades. Storage is cheap, computers are fast and multi-core, yet we live with the mentality of paucity and don't save our digital crumbs.

Because search killed bookmarks. Have you requested this feature in any browser? Maybe nobody asked for it.

Bookmark search is for rookies. I'd pay for a search tool over my 877 open tabs.

Web search generates profit, local search doesn't.

If you use Safari, there's https://andadinosaur.com/launch-history-book for content saving, for your browsing history.

Thank you! Yeah history is something we've been asked multiple times now. I'm sure this could be extended easily once we solve a few things (scraping pages faster and being smarter about what text we embed, parsing out irrelevant stuff). Will keep you posted.
