I installed this a while back and honestly I almost never touch it. It turns out that for me searching my history doesn't really replace a search engine at all. The built in extractor list is pretty limited and adding them seems like too much of an ordeal for me to bother.

Sure, it cannot fully replace web search engines (yet), but it can reduce the dependence on these services more and more as your index grows. Hister is designed to support quickly falling back to traditional search engines with a single hotkey if no results found.

I agree, we should add more extractors [1]. Can you recommend extractors you missed?
