I love this idea. Chrome's history is insufficient; I swear, it often doesn't record sites I've visited. But.. I'm not ready to trust an unknown process sending my entire browsing history to unknown servers. Excited for a potential local version.

Good luck.
Do you just record n-grams indexed against the page url, are you then uploading that index? If you're not uploading it how is there no "local version" available? It's an interesting idea. Personally I have a script that wgets all the pages I bookmark and I very rarely use that content. What use cases are you anticipating?
It would be useful for pulling back pages that have fallen off the internet and are not in the wayback machine. Thats a use case I have hit a few times. I even started backing up useful posts just in case they died. http://gigablast.com/rants.html is an example. Its a really good insight into the creation of a search engine which really should be preserved. One that did dissapear but has since come back is this post…
(1) Saves an exact copy of the page also.
(2) Indexes the text.
(3) Encrypted (search occurs on your computer).
Been in beta for a while. Thanks for feedback.
I was just looking for such indexer this exact evening. Unfortunately, logon via Twitter fails with 500 error bar flashing at the site's top and logon via FB fails with "App Not Setup: The developers of this app have not set up this app properly for Facebook Login.", so I can't try it. Nonetheless, my biggest worry is why this is a service instead of a standalone package. (Actually, I've considered trying with the ho…
I tried address the privacy angle from day 1. Data is encrypted and only ciphertext is sent to the cloud. Index is stored only on your own machine. Searching occurs on your own machine.
A couple of cool features are that it also saves an exact HTML copy of the page including images and stuff if you read a page "long enough" (currently 90 seconds).

Chrome's history is inordinately awful. Get this addon: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-history/obc...
The downside compared to something like this is that it only works if I have the foresight to clip a page. But the upside is that I don't end up indexing all the crap I definitely won't want again, so it's easier to find things in the remainder.
Cool. I've definitely had a desire for something like this in the past. It's mostly been filled by Evernote and its web clipper now. Any time I have a vague inkling that I might want a page again sometime, I clip it, so I can easily find it with a future search. (Often by accident since you can configure the clipper to show Evernote notes alongside search engine results.) The downside compared to something like this…
