In Chrome if you open the history and hit "show full history," you get a search bar that works better for history.
Where's "show full history"? I don't see anything resembling that, nor any obscure dropdowns or popouts that might be hiding it.
The sad part is, that option just opens the built-in History page, just like pressing Ctrl + H, which I believe that's not what we wanted at all.
I think Chrome just redefined "full" while it regularly deletes history entries older than three months.

The one thing I do miss in Firefox, though, is the chronological listing. I find my memory of the rough time, and sequence of events leading to an item, is usually stronger than my memory of the specific content.
If you press "view" on the top right of the history sidebar, and select "by last visited," it'll be in chronological order.
This extension looks like it could finally make it convenient enough to be more commonly useful, and privacy focused enough that I'm willing to try it. Great work! Are you planning to charge something for this in the future, or for extra features? I would definitely be willing to pay for it.
One of the reasons I keep coming back to Firefox is that Firefox seems to already be doing this. At least it searches all parts of the URL and the title, so I'm 99% successful at getting the right URL in the awesomebar when I'm looking for something. Chrome is just horrible when it comes to this, and I can never get back to previous pages when searching via the addressbar.
Say there's two websites I visit regularly with similar names? If I usually load one after typing three characters, but load the other one after typing four characters, Firefox will present the former first in the first case, and the latter first in the second case.
I’ve tried to find a solution to bookmark searching for a while. I’ve never found a product I liked or trust. Lately I’ve been manually adding bookmarks to a custom google search engine. I’m considering building an extension that will add them directly or sync chrome bookmarks. I figure google already knows what I’ve searched, so I feel much less sketchy about it. Would this extension be interesting to anyone? It wou…
This product appears to index your bookmarks, did you see that?
My issue with these services is (and maybe this one is different) is that I have to run 3rd party software and extensions and I never know how long these companies/products will stay around.
I nice idea, but an open source browser plugin with all local storage would fit my needs better. I prototyped something roughly like this several years ago. I wrote a simple Firefox plugin that communicated with a locally running server written in Closure with a Clojurescript web app for browsing that used the same server backend. I stopped working on the because services like Evernote do a better job, at the loss of…
