Google Chrome's history search is somewhat … less powerful than I'd like it to be.
Examples:
These are some annoyances I've found while trying to work with the Chrome search.
- Searching for
superuser.com
returns results fromstackoverflow.com
too. - Searching for
site:superuser.com
does not work at all. "phrase queries"
seem to work fine, but they're not indicated.- Searching for
hashify.me
returns 3 results, none of those actually from hashify.me, whereas searching forhashify
returns hundreds of URLs I visited on this site.
What I need:
- Is there any way to specify advanced search options there?
- Which operators or types of queries can I use to search in Google Chrome?
- If not, can I use some other method to search my history more efficiently?
The Chrome help does not mention anything related.
