What is the History Search utility?

• Find and open your information online, just like you search for files on your computer.

You may have had to search for web pages you’ve read before, then spend a lot of time trying to find the content you need again. Imagine how difficult this would be with the vast amount of information you’ve read over the past 10 years – trying to organize or bookmark pages would drive us absolutely crazy.

Traditional browser histories are difficult to navigate and often require scrolling through endless lists of links. With History Search, you can find a website again whenever you need it using any word or phrase you remember from it. With the information stored by a machine with a very precise memory, you can browse without worrying, knowing you will always be able to find what you need again.
