They've got a demo video at <http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/macwarriors/projects/trailblazer/>. I've considered writing an extension in Epiphany which does similar stuff, with thumbnails of web pages and all, but it'd be a lot of effort and I don't see myself using it all that much. My use case for history is: 1. Press Ctrl-H. 2. Enter some search terms. 3. Get annoyed because the web page I want was titled badly and I can't find it. 4. Go through my past 30 minutes of browser history, in chronological order. 5. Open a few links that I think might be the ones I want; they aren't. 6. Finally find the link. In my opinion, being able to search history full-text would be perfect. Whenever I open my history I can easily think up a sentence fragment which would be unique to the page I'm looking for. This would be an ideal candidate for a C# extension, since there's already DotLucene (the indexing engine used by Beagle). If C# extensions worked properly, I think an entire History replacement extension would be trivial. -- Adam Hooper <adamh densi com>
