Is there a browser that supports searching through the full text of the history pages' content ? Chrome and Firefox supports only searching the titles and URLs (with their omnibars).

I'm aware that Google Desktop and the likes are capable of doing that, but if the browser omnibar (or awesomebar or whateverbar) could do that - it'd be much more convenient.

Chrome does this if you go to the History view and enter a query in the search box there.

Open the History view with Ctrl+H or by selecting it from the Spanner (Wrench) menu.

Would have been surprising if Chrome wasn't able to search like that. – random♦ Sep 17 '09 at 8:06

For Firefox you need an add-on.
See WebMynd : "Save every web page you visit with WebMynd Firefox add-on".

It looks like the WebMynd addon you mention no longer does that. – Michael Ekstrand Jun 13 '11 at 14:06

This feature can be found in Opera. You can search your browser history and pull up relevant pages that contain that phrase on the page itself and not constrained to just the title of the page alone.
