Good point. I've lost track of the number of start-ups that proposed some kind of "Search your browser history" functionality, which, to be honest, I've wished for myself. But I don't know of any that have even made it to released-product stage.

Does Memex resemble what you were wishing for? (https://github.com/WorldBrain/Memex/)

[chris_st]

Not really -- What I'd like would be something that doesn't require me to annotate, in advance, what I want to find again. I often think, "I know I read something about this a while back!" and then I try to think which website I'd seen it on. The ones I've read about just watch your whole browsing history and let you search that.

I also couldn't get it to work when I tried a while ago (which I imagine they've fixed).

What about something with HTTrack as you browse and grep?

[chris_st]

Yeah, that seems like a step in the right direction -- don't think I want all the images, just the text, but I'd guess that's an option.

Wonder if you could hook that in through a local proxy...
