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 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. HistoryHound will give you a list of matches, ranked by relevance.

HistoryHound currently supports Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Camino, Mozilla / Netscape, OmniWeb, Opera, Shiira, NetNewsWire 2, PulpFiction and URL Manager Pro.

What's new in this version:

  • HistoryHound is now a Universal Binary that runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel powered Macintoshes.
  • When HistoryHound's search palette is set to float above other applications, hiding HistoryHound will no longer hide the search palette.
  • HistoryHound reports itself to web servers as the user agent when downloading pages.
  • Incorrect dates are now detected and corrected when adding pages to the index.
  • An indexer has been added for salvaging URL data from damaged HistoryHound index files. You can move a damaged index file to the Desktop and then add it to HistoryHound's list of search items to recover all of the URLs in the file.

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.
