Google Chrome did this in 2008. Full-text search over all visited pages, stored offline. It was very useful and I miss it.
Nobody seems to remember it, even though it was a headline feature. Was removed in 2013, I think due to technical constraints.
Will definitely try this.

  I remember this as well. I hadn't noticed it was gone until just now, but you're right.
  Edit: Found it. Thanks Claude.
