Fast, keyboard-navigable full-text search for Chrome browsing history. Browser History Search is a privacy-focused Chrome extension that gives users a faster and more powerful way to search their browsing history directly inside the browser. It is designed for researchers, students, developers, writers, professionals, power users, and anyone who regularly needs to find a webpage they visited earlier. Instead of scrolling through Chrome’s standard history page or trying to remember the exact website address, Browser History Search provides a fast, keyboard-navigable full-text search interface for your local Chrome browsing history. Many people visit hundreds of webpages every week. Articles, documentation pages, dashboards, research sources, tutorials, product pages, tickets, forums, tools, reports, and reference materials can quickly disappear into a long history list. Finding one page again can be frustrating when you only remember part of the title, a few words from the URL, or the general domain. Browser History Search helps solve this by letting you search page titles and URLs across your entire local history in a cleaner and more efficient way. The extension works entirely inside Chrome and does not use any external API. No data is ever transmitted to third-party servers. Your browsing history, page titles, URLs, search queries, filters, ranking data, visit frequency, recency information, and usage activity remain on your own device. The extension does not upload your history to the cloud, does not send your searches to remote servers, does not analyze your browsing through third-party services, and does not require an account. Everything happens locally in your browser. Privacy is especially important for a history search tool. Browser history can reveal personal interests, work projects, health research, financial activity, shopping plans, travel ideas, client work, school topics, internal company systems, and private accounts. Browser History Search is designed so that this sensitive information stays local. It does not transmit page titles, URLs, domains, search terms, or browsing patterns to any outside system. The extension uses client-side processing only, giving users a private way to search their own history. One of the core features of Browser History Search is its fast full-text search interface. Users can search across both page titles and URLs, making it easier to find pages even when they remember only partial information. For example, you might search for a few words from an article title, part of a documentation path, a product name, a company domain, or a topic keyword. The extension helps surface matching history entries quickly so you can reopen the page without digging through long chronological lists. The extension opens with a keyboard shortcut, making it useful for fast workflows. Instead of moving through menus or opening Chrome’s default history page, users can press a shortcut and start typing immediately. This is especially helpful for keyboard-focused users, developers, researchers, and productivity-minded people who want to move quickly. The interface is keyboard-navigable, so users can search, move through results, and open a selected page with minimal mouse use. Browser History Search ranks results by visit frequency and recency. This means the pages you visit often and pages you visited recently can appear more prominently. Ranking results this way helps reduce noise, because not every matching page is equally relevant. A page you opened many times last week is often more useful than a page you visited once months ago. By combining frequency and recency, the extension helps users find likely matches faster. Fuzzy matching is another important feature. You do not need to remember the exact title or URL. If you mistype a word, remember only part of a phrase, or enter a close variation, the extension can still surface relevant results. This makes history search feel more forgiving and natural. Fuzzy matching is especially useful when searching technical documentation, long article titles, unfamiliar product names, or URLs with complex paths. Browser History Search also supports domain-scoped filtering entirely client-side. This allows users to narrow results to a specific website or domain. For example, a developer might search only within documentation pages from a framework website. A student might filter results to a university portal. A professional might search only within an internal tool, project board, or knowledge base. Domain filtering helps users find relevant pages faster when they know where the page came from but not the exact title. Students can use Browser History Search to find research sources, course pages, online readings, study guides, and reference materials they visited earlier. During assignments, it is common to open many pages and later need to return to one useful source. A fast history search tool helps students recover those pages and keep their research organized. Researchers and writers can use the extension to revisit articles, sources, interviews, archives, citations, and inspiration. Instead of relying only on bookmarks or notes, they can search their local browsing history for pages they encountered during earlier sessions. This can help recover valuable material that was not saved at the time. Developers can benefit greatly from Browser History Search. Technical work often involves visiting documentation, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow answers, API references, bug reports, dashboards, and internal tools. Remembering exact URLs can be difficult, but searching by title, domain, or fuzzy keyword can quickly restore the needed page. Keyboard navigation makes this even faster during coding or debugging. Professionals can use the extension to find work tools, reports, dashboards, tickets, customer records, project pages, and shared documents they opened previously. For people who work mostly in the browser, history becomes a large map of recent work. Browser History Search makes that map easier to navigate. The extension is intentionally lightweight and focused. It does not try to become a cloud bookmark manager, analytics platform, tracking service, or external search engine. Its purpose is simple: provide a fast, local, keyboard-friendly way to search Chrome history. Because it does not use external APIs or third-party servers, it can run privately without upload delays, cloud indexing, sign-ins, or remote processing. Browser History Search is ideal for anyone who wants better access to their own browsing history while keeping that history private. No external API is used. No data is ever transmitted to third-party servers. Your history, URLs, search terms, domains, ranking signals, and browsing activity remain on your device. With full-text search across titles and URLs, keyboard shortcut access, keyboard navigation, recency and frequency ranking, fuzzy matching, domain-scoped filtering, local processing, and privacy-first design, Browser History Search is a practical Chrome extension for faster browsing recall. It helps users find previously visited pages quickly while keeping all browsing data private and secure inside Chrome.
