MySearch Extension

MySearch provides full-text searching ability on Google Chrome History. When a user visits a site and can only remember certain phrases and words within the site, they cannot use the in-built Chrome history to search for the content because Chrome history does not provide a full-text search functionality. This application solves that problem by only storing and indexing publicly-available links, and providing users with a way to perform full-text searches on their history.
