Find a page you visited before

You remember what the page was about, or a phrase from it, but not its title or address. With Datarag that is enough to search your browsing history and find it again, because Datarag indexes what was actually on the page, not just its title and URL.

What you probably remember

When a page slips away, the address is usually the first thing to go. What stays is the substance: the topic it covered, a sentence or a term that stood out, roughly when you read it, and sometimes which site it was on. Those are the cues Datarag works with. You don't need the exact title, and you don't need to reconstruct the URL.

Search by what the page said

Type a plain-language description of the page into Datarag's search, the way you would describe it to a colleague: "the article about sleep and memory consolidation", "the guide that compared standing desks", "the Stack Overflow answer about retrying failed fetch requests". Datarag searches the indexed content of the pages you read, so a description of what the page said can match even when none of those words were in its title. For a broader walkthrough, see how to search your browsing history.

When the question is "what was that page that said…", you can also ask Datarag's AI chat. It answers using your browsing history as context, so you get an answer drawn from the pages you read instead of a list of results to scan. For why Chrome's own history search can't do this, see Datarag vs. Chrome history.

What it can't find

Datarag can only find pages it saved. Pages you opened in incognito or private browsing are never captured. Adult, gambling, and social media pages are filtered out of indexing automatically. And if you switched page indexing off for a while, pages you read during that time weren't saved. See /security for how the history Datarag does save is encrypted.
