I've been having some trouble with importing my URLs, but afterwards... this is one of those products that makes you think "why hasn't this been made yet?"

@jeffrey_wyman Hey Jeffrey! First of all, thanks for hunting us. Got us really some nice exposure. :) What problems do you encounter with the import?

This looks very promising. Installing on personal profile and testing for a few days before I install it for work. Edit: Welp, this didn't take long. The extension does not honor the blacklist for 'localhost' :/ @realworldbrain

This would be great for finding that link you visited 3 days ago without digging through all of your history.

I think the is the first of it's kind. I've yet to find a Chrome extension that I can "google search" my history and bookmarks urls.

@antflore5 Hello Anthony! What do you understand with Google Search your history and bookmark urls? If you mean search in all of the content of all your pages in your history and bookmarks, then this tool is exactly what you are looking for :)

Hey folks, We completely rebuilt Memex, formerly (Re)search-Engine, from scratch and added useful features. What it can do now: - Search every word of every website you visited and bookmarked - Filtering by tags, domains, time, bookmarks - You fully own your data, everything is stored locally. - Quick blacklist of urls and whole domains via the popup - Pause indexing - Importing your existing history & bookmarks - Join Pre-sale "Memex Cloud: Your Memex Anywhere." Get up to 75% off as early supporter. Thanks to all the people making that possible. @Jeffrey_wyman for hunting us down @Kate from PH to put us on the front page @my wonderful team who helped making this tool what it is today.

I'm hopeless at organising my bookmarks. For me they're more a long term thing. So for research I'm doing e.g. this week, I have tried various bookmark/tab organising tools, all of which need me to remember to click on something. But Memex just gets out of the way and lets me work in my normal chaotic manner.

Pros:

Saves so much time in searching for stuff I've already seen

Cons:

Can take a while to index if you have a large history & bookmarks -- but after that it's lightning fast.

Nice! How would you say this compares to fetching.io? I use that regularly and love it.

@lukebabell Sorry for the late reply. I am currently At FOSDEM conference. For now, fetching provides more features (and its really great). Apart from what fetching.io delivers, our software is and will be better in the following ways: - We always will be free and open-source - We will always leave you in full control over data. Nothing is hosted in a cloud provided by us. - You will soon also be able to search through more than just history&bookmarks, but through the apps you organise your knowledge as well (Evernote, Google Drive/Docs, Email, Messengers) - We essentially aim to give you the ability to augment how your brain makes associations in your web research, allowing you to store and recall various associations ("I visited the page in a session where I visited another one", " I stored the page in Evernote as well", "I sent a page that was about climate change in an email to Tom")
