Browsertrail: Full-Text History Search, Tabs & Bookmarks

Chrome's history search only matches page titles. Browsertrail searches the full text of the pages themselves, so you can find a page by a phrase you half-remember from its body - not just by what it happened to be called. One keyboard shortcut searches everything you have seen: your browsing history, every open tab across every window, anything you closed minutes or weeks ago, and your bookmarks. Results come back in a few milliseconds, ranked by relevance, recency, and how long you actually spent on the page. The index is built and kept on your own device. No page, address or search term ever leaves your machine. Browsertrail needs a free Syntaximos account. You sign in once to use it, and that exchange carries your account identifier and nothing else: no page, address, title or search term is ever sent. WHY IT FINDS WHAT CHROME CANNOT On a 7,197-page test corpus, Browsertrail returned the right page in its top five results for 90% of queries. Chrome's own built-in search managed 2.5% on the same corpus and the same queries. The difference is page text: Chrome indexes titles and addresses, Browsertrail indexes what the page actually said. It is not a tab manager and not a bookmark manager. It never asks you to file, tag or sort anything. It finds the pages you never got round to saving.
