But Google indexes the whole web. I want a search that works just over the articles I've read.

"What was that article I read a few months back that talked about why you should be able to explain why a fence exists before tearing it down?". It works be perfect for the discussion I'm having with my team right now, but I can't remember the name of the stupid law or where I came across it .

Google is useless in these situations. I need an index contained by my prior search history. Had anyone built this yet?

Is it? I just googled the keywords from your sentence "fence before tear it down" and the first article is titled "Chesterton's Fence: A Lesson in Second Order Thinking"

I use SingleFileZ for saving the bookmark, and then run it through recoll-we to search them. The search is not perfect, but it has augmented my memory several times already.

Chromium and Firefox have, in the form of a sqlite database.

You can and should use it. Even if you don't directly, typing in the address bar usually plucks from your bookmarks first.

Firefox only matches the page title and the URL, plus the search box doesn't allow querying by time. Those are the two most common things I need from my bookmark storage.
