How do I search my browser history by topic, not exact words?
Browser history search (⌘ Y) only matches words in page titles and addresses. Trawl reads your history from every browser on your Mac and searches it by meaning, so "that article about property prices in Mauritius" finds the page even if the title used different words.
The built-in way (free)
- Press ⌘ Y in your browser and try several keywords.
- Each browser has its own history, so repeat in each one.
With Trawl
- Describe the page. Use the Web key to see only pages, videos and searches.
- Results are grouped into Videos, Pages, Searches, Downloads and Saved.
