    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 think due to shareholders wanting new sportcars. The offline pages don't show Google Ads.
