I'm working on a self-hosted search service called Hister with the goal to reduce my dependence on online search engines.

Hister is basically a full text indexer which saves all the visited pages rendered by your browser. It provides a flexible web (and terminal) search interface & query language to explore previously visited content with ease or quickly fall back to traditional search engines.

Here's a little summary of the background/motivation/beginnings: https://hister.org/posts/how-i-cut-my-google-search-dependen...

i love this and have been a long time complainer that browsers dont automatically operate this way.

how does it handle forms or homepages with refreshed content? for example, the home page of hackernews - will it always show the latest feed from the last time i had a connection or will it store each time ive visited it ?

Thanks <3

Currently it overwrites the previous content with the latest if there is any change, but I'd like to add option to store diffs as well in the future.
