Show HN: Recawl - a search engine for your web history
- mcrittenden 15y agoDoesn't Chrome already store full-text history?
- _grrr 15y agoIt does, but it also has bookmarks and there are a number of bookmarking services that all improve on the basic browser offering in some way. When I first started Recawl Chrome's history search was somewhat unreliable/buggy although it has improved since then. I also find Chrome's history search hard to use. For example: You cann't constrain a search by time period and you cann't block sites from appearing in the results. Recawl suggests keywords related to your current search and it also learns to re-order results for search terms based on your previous click history. Your Recawl history is available to search remotely whereas Chrome's history is only local.
