HistoryHound overview

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. 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 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. 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 will give you a list of matches, ranked by relevance.

HistoryHound currently supports Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, OmniWeb, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, NetNewsWire and URL Manager Pro.

What’s new in version 2.3.2

Version 2.3.2:
  • You can now select multiple entries in the search results list by Command-clicking or Shift-clicking on items. This allows you to Control-click and operate on multiple results at once to remove them from the search index, open them in a web browser or copy their URLs.
  • Fixed a hang that could occur under some circumstances when starting a search.
  • Some toolbar appearance issues have been fixed.

I recently started using it again and within a week I needed to find a quote I had read somewhere online and History Hound found that quote for me within seconds. I have to say I am so glad I am using this again. Love this app.

Very useful in theory – but not if I get a 30-seconds beachball with every search. I hope this gets fixed.

HistoryHound has been around for a long time because it works as stated. For most, it isn't an app you'll use daily but anyone who spends a lot of time browsing the internet will probably use it more than the average. Those of us who will use HistoryHound on occasion will find it extremely useful. It is so simple to use, yet very powerful. Basically HistoryHound analyzes every page you visit and keeps and index of everything on all those page so when the time comes and you need to find that "thing a machigy", HistoryHound can locate the web page for you. HistoryHound can render the page in the builtin browser or send it to Safari. Give it a try and someday you'll be thrilled you had it to assist you in finding that web page. It truly is aa very handy application to have for those times when you need to find something you saw while browsing but can't remember where.

How's this project going? Is it dead on the vine or will we be seeing some updates soon? I would really like to give it a shot, but the age is worrisome.
