Full Tutorial for the (Re)search-Engine

Chrome extension for full-text browsing history & bookmarks search.

To activate, press w, then space or tab, in the omnibar to start searching your previously visited websites! Every time you visit a website in Chrome, WorldBrain indexes all the text on the page so that the site can be easily found later. Then, for example, if you type w <tab> mugwort, WorldBrain will show the websites you visited containing the text "mugwort"!

You can watch a short 2 minute video here: worldbrain.io*/*tutorial

More options:

  • Import existing history and bookmarks via the dashboard. (Reachable via the small brain icon in the top-right corner of the browser)
  • Use before:date and after:date to search your history in a certain time range
    • You can use natural language along with quotes to specify dates as well, e.g. before:"yesterday at 5pm"
  • Use quotations to look for exact matches of strings containing whitespace
  • Only documents containing all words will be returned

Example Queries

before: "yesterday at 5pm" after: "three weeks ago" emscripten blog "anish athalye"

  • Searches for websites that you browsed between yesterday at 5pm and 3 weeks ago containing the keywords "emscripten" and "blog" and "anish athalye"

-"cat food" just "a dog"

  • Searches for websites you visited containing the keywords "just" and "a dog", and without the phrase "cat food".

ethereum medium

  • Searches for websites you visited in the last 2 weeks containing the keywords "ethereum" and "medium"

ethereum medium after:11/29/2015 before:3/26/2016

  • Searches for websites you visited between 11/29/2015 and 3/26/2016 containing the keywords "ethereum" and "medium"
