Search Browser History Coming soon

Chrome forgets. You don't.

Chrome keeps about 90 days of history and searches only titles and addresses. This keeps every page you visit for as long as you want, on your own machine, and searches the words that were inside them.

The popup showing a search for the word report: nine of thirty-nine pages match, each result highlighting the word where it was found.
Type a word you remember. Each match is highlighted where it was found, in the title or in the address, with the date and how many times you went back. The counter says how much of the archive the search reached; the footer says how far back the archive goes.
The popup with a site filter typed into the search box: one of thirty-nine pages is from nature.com.
Narrow it down. Filters are typed, not clicked: site:, after:, before:, or a phrase in quotes.
The popup with no search term, listing the most recently visited pages.
Or just open it. With no search term it is the last thing you looked at, which is often what you wanted.

The interface in these captures is the real one. The entries inside it are made up: a screenshot of a real archive would be somebody's private history, which is the thing this product exists to keep private.

What the paid version adds

The free version searches titles and addresses, and keeps them past Chrome's ninety days. $4.99 once adds search the text inside the pages, not just their titles.

Page text is not collected at all until you buy. The collector is not injected without a licence, so the capability is absent rather than present and refused.

Questions people actually ask

Where does the archive live?

In your browser, in IndexedDB, on the machine you are using. There is no server in this product and no account to make.

What happens when I delete history in Chrome?

By default, deleting in Chrome deletes it here too. You can turn that off in settings if you want the archive to outlive what Chrome forgets. Entries Chrome expires on its own after about 80 days are kept either way, because that is Chrome forgetting rather than you deleting.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, the whole archive, at any time, from the settings page. It restores as well.

Which sites are never recorded?

A default list of mail, sign-in, banking and health domains, plus anything you add. Pages on those sites never reach the archive: the page is still read in the tab, and the service worker discards it on arrival rather than storing it.

Coming to the Chrome Web Store Free version is the whole archive and title search.
