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.

I'm not attacking your views, but want to point out a couple of things: There's no need to "clean house" in your bookmarks unless you don't want them searched (or you can just turn off HistoryHound's indexing of bookmarks). Regarding Little Snitch, yes it's going to notify you that HH is accessing the internet because it re-downloads the text of pages if they're in your history and not in your cache. You have to give HistoryHound blanket permission to download web pages, just like you would a web browser. And if you're not finding things that should be indexed as part of your history, please contact us. HistoryHound's well-tested, but there may be sites that it doesn't work well with for one reason or another - we'd like to fix those cases, so let us know.Reply to This
