Ask HN: Browser history full-text seach

Hello.

tldr: Do you use something for full-text search in your browser. if yes, what do you use? if no, why not?

I find myself searching for specific text or words that appeared in websites I visited. These words sometimes appear in the url, and finding them is easy. If they dont appear in the url, then its much harder to find.

I use firefox, and I was looking for a plugin to do that. I found Recall Monkey from Mozilla, but apparently its not working anymore in the latest versions. I found fetching.io, but it looks abandoned, and also it was not working when I tried it.

Some people online suggested chrome. I tried it, but the full-text search is not there.

Why is there no easy way to do that? Is there a way that I havent explored, or is there a very obvious solution? Is that not a problem for meny people? Should I start looking in homebrewing a solution for me?

Thanks.
