One thing I'm begging for, and getting a positive response on, is the ability to publish the full index to Spotlight. I've been emailing quite a bit with Jon, and he's got a lot of further development planned. I also have a complete history of all of my web browsing across all of the browsers I use, dating back up to 60 days (configurable), with user-definable filters to skip the popups and redirect pages. I've got full-text search of everything I bookmark, no matter where I do it. I'm also pulling all of my tagged bookmarks from Tags, and all of my Evernote web clippings (all via a combination of Ruby, AppleScript and launchd). Jon Gotow, the developer, is considering implementing Delicious bookmarks, but for the time being I'm just curl-ing them into a text file and having HistoryHound go at it. It can scrape URL's out of straight text files, too.

You just have to determine how it should be parsed when you add it, and HistoryHound will take over from there.

If you have an app which stores bookmarks on the disk or in a file, say a Fluid SSB or something like Webbla, you can add its folder or file to HistoryHound.

The real gold is in the extensible index sources. Search comes in two flavors: a tiny popup panel which can be assigned to a hotkey and provides a list of matches as you type, and a full, Webkit-enabled search window with page previews and a multi-column result list. Then you can search for exact or fuzzy matches, or with Spotlight-style boolean keywords for any text on the landing page. Not just the bookmarks, though in the background - with a very low footprint - HistoryHound starts indexing the full text of each page. It means being able to bookmark willy-nilly in any browser and know that you'll be able to quickly locate noteworthy sites again, in any application. HistoryHound indexes bookmarks, history and cache from all of your browsers, with presets for Camino, Firefox 2 & 3, Flock, iCab, OmniWeb, Opera, Safari, Shiira and URL Manager Pro. Its hotkey already has its own spot in my muscle memory.
#HISTORYHOUND SOFTWARE#
Clair Software - more famous, probably, for Default Folder X - and have been using it constantly for days. I just picked up the latest version of HistoryHound from St. HistoryHound currently supports Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, OmniWeb, Opera, iCab, Vivaldi, NetNewsWire and URL Manager Pro.Ĭompatibility: OS X 10.Today's Friday Favorite is a new one to me, but it's been around for a while. HistoryHound will give you a list of matches, ranked by relevance. 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, and even narrow it down to a specific range of dates if you remember when you saw it.
#HISTORYHOUND PLUS#
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. 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 is for you if you ever tried to find something in your browser history or bookmarks, but couldn’t quite remember when or where you saw it.
