   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.

      There was also Google Desktop Search for several years: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google_Desktop" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google_Desktop
