How did I do this search?

While scanning files on my machine, I came across a beautiful document which showed hyperlinked entries to a history of my YouTube searches. But I can't remember how I did it. Can you help?
I wish I could attach a brief screenshot (if I can do that here, I don't know how), but basically it showed as the header 'search-history.html' and the url was "file:///Users/myname/Downloads/Takeout/YouTube/history/search-history.html".
It then laid out the search history in 2 simple columns. The left one was the search term, hyperlinked to YouTube and the search. The second column was date/time of search.
Can you tell me how to recreate this? BTW, I'm on a Mac, running High Sierra.
Many thanks.

Response by poster: Rangefinder, you da man. And only 23 minutes. Thanks much. It's exactly what I wanted.
I find the download of the search history is the very same and is excellent. However, the view history is in some garbled up text, even when I select the text reader. Oh, well, not that important. It's the search history I was most interested in.
It's also easily exported to Excel for further sort capabilities.
