Have 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 do a fast text search on the contents of all web pages you've visited recently, plus all the pages 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. HistoryHound will give you a list of matches, ranked by relevance.
HistoryHound currently supports Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Camino, Mozilla / Netscape, OmniWeb, Opera, Shiira, NetNewsWire 2, PulpFiction and URL Manager Pro.

Limitations:
30 day trial.

What's New:
HistoryHound is now a Universal Binary that runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel powered Macintoshes.
When HistoryHound's search palette is set to float above other applications, hiding HistoryHound will no longer hide the search palette.
HistoryHound reports itself to web servers as the user agent when downloading pages.
Incorrect dates are now detected and corrected when adding pages to the index.
An indexer has been added for salvaging URL data from damaged HistoryHound index files. You can move a damaged index file to the Desktop and then add it to HistoryHound's list of search items to recover all of the URLs in the file.

Requirements:
Mac OS X version 10.3 (Panther) or higher
A web browser (Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Camino, Mozilla / Netscape, OmniWeb, Shiira, Opera), RSS Reader (NetNewsWire 2.0, PulpFiction) or URL Manager Pro.
