A search engine for your browsing history

Fed up with not being able to find pages that I knew I had visited in the past I wrote a Chrome extension that automatically indexes the url, title & content of every page you visit - allowing you to search your entire browsing history. Why is this useful? Imagine you know that last week you read a news article by author "X" but you can't remember where, or how you got to it; by searching your recawl history for "X" you can easily find the page you were looking for. http://www.recawl.com

A search engine for your browsing history launched on September 1, 2011 with 6 votes, #122 of 306 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.
