Product Description:

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 which browser you were using at the time? 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!

HistoryHound lets you quickly search for keywords in the entire content of all web pages and RSS feeds you've visited recently, plus all those that you've bookmarked. It's a "personal web search." Instead of hunting through endless lists of obscure URLs and page titles, just type in a few words that appear anywhere on the page, and even narrow it down to a specific range of dates if you remember when you saw it. HistoryHound will give you a list of matches, ranked by relevance.

HistoryHound currently supports Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Camino, OmniWeb, Opera, Shiira, Flock, iCab, NetNewsWire and URL Manager Pro.

What's new in this version:

  • Added support for Safari 4.0.
  • Added support for Opera 10.0.
  • Added support for Google Chrome.
  • HistoryHound can now index folders full of .webbookmark, .webhistory, and .webloc files.
  • Improved handling of web pages that perform redirects.
  • The download engine is faster, more efficient and reports errors more clearly.
  • You can now select multiple URLs in the Index Status window and open them or copy them all at once using the contextual menu.
  • HistoryHound now catches and ignores URLs that are ridiculously long.
  • The browser window is cleared when the search field is cleared.
  • HistoryHound ignores Safari's safe browsing database because it contains no useful information.
  • Fixed a problem with settings not always being recognized after quitting and relaunching HistoryHound.
  • "NSInvalidArgumentException" errors from the web page indexers have been fixed.
  • Resolved a conflict that could cause an "Uncaught system exception" error.
  • Eliminated warning messages in the Console from plDatabase.
  • Worked around a bug that could cause crashes when downloading RSS feeds.
  • Corrected a display problem when using the in-application purchase engine.
  • The small search bar no longer spuriously resets while you're typing.
  • Fixed a few memory management bugs.
  • Corrected French localization errors.

I really enjoy having History Hound at hand. I end up using it a dozen times a week just to find some page I hit but didn't bookmark. The tool integrates so well with my workflow that I don't even think about it until right when I need it, which is perfect.

With the flexible indexing I have History Hound can search archives of NetNewsWire, and even your own webpages, etc (if you're a web developer, this can be nice for finding a snippet you put into a site, etc).

I got a copy for free and tossed it out, that's how useless this was. It was a good idea.
The first thing you have to do is go through all your bookmarks and clean house before running this, if you have littlesnitch running, Goodnight Irene. You'll have so many alert windows that you'll think you're playing a shoot-em-up game. After all that's done, it acts as a slow internet browser, and non of the search results were what I was looking for. It's just extra baggage that you don't need.

This is just my experience with it. I won't attack your comments and reviews, so please don't attack mine.
