About HistorySearch — Full-Text Browsing Memory
# Chrome Web Store Listing
## Name
HistorySearch — Full-Text Browsing Memory
## Short Description (132 chars max)
Search the full text of every page you've visited — kept for 90 days, fully local. Zero data sent anywhere.
## Detailed Description
Ever spent 20 minutes trying to find "that article you read last week"? Chrome's built-in history only searches titles and URLs — not the actual content you read.
HistorySearch fixes this. It quietly saves the text of every page you visit, then lets you search through all of it instantly.
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
• Install and forget — HistorySearch works automatically in the background
• Visit any webpage — the text content is saved locally
• Need to find something? Open the side panel and search
• Click any result to jump back to the original page
🛡️ 100% PRIVATE
• All data stays on YOUR computer — nothing is sent anywhere
• No servers, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking
• HistorySearch doesn't even request network permissions
• Verify yourself: check the permissions — zero network access
⚡ FEATURES
• Full-text search across everything you've browsed
• 90 days of history kept by default — find articles from last quarter, not just last week
• Smart text extraction powered by Mozilla Readability
• Filter by date (today / last 7 days / last 30 days / last 90 days) and domain
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+F to open/close
• Dark mode support
• Export/import your data as JSON backup
• Automatic cleanup — old entries are removed automatically
• Sensitive page protection — banks, medical sites, and password pages are never saved
• Japanese kana-aware search (ひらがな/カタカナ cross-matching)
• Customizable domain blocklist
🔒 SENSITIVE PAGE PROTECTION
• Pages with password fields are automatically skipped
• Banking, medical, and government sites blocked by default
• Add your own domains to the blocklist
• Incognito mode is always excluded
💡 PERFECT FOR
• Developers searching for code snippets they saw last month
• Researchers tracking sources across dozens of articles
• Students who need to re-find study material
• Anyone who thinks "I read this somewhere..." more than once a week
⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
• Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Shift+F on Mac): Open/close HistorySearch
• Arrow keys: Navigate search results
• Enter: Open selected result
📦 DATA & STORAGE
