HistoryHound lets you do a fast text search on the entire content of all web pages you've visited recently, plus all the pages you've bookmarked. It's a "personal web search." Just type in a few keywords and HistoryHound gives you a list of pages you've viewed recently, ranked by relevance.
Have you ever tried to find something in your browser history or bookmarks, but couldn't quite remember when or where you saw it? Or perhaps you've got your bookmarks meticulously organized, but it takes forever to mouse through the menus to get to something you want? HistoryHound will chase down the page for you - fast!
Powered by Mac OS X Panther's "V-Twin" search technology for fast searching, HistoryHound scans your browser's cache, history, and bookmarks periodically to keep its search index up to date. It also includes a built-in browser based on WebKit, the same engine that's inside Safari, so your search results are rendered quickly and accurately....
Dang, this looks really nice, but is only for Macs -- I wonder if any commenters may know of a similar program for Windows -- preferably Mozilla / Firefox. I may have to go check for one.
Occasionally I regret not being a Mac user. But just very occasionally.
