Saving firefox search history

October 12, 2010 6:00 AM

Is it possible to access my search history from the google box in firefox? I would like to get a flat text file containing all the search querys I have made since last history cleanup.

Do you search Google while logged in to your Google Account? If so, there's a good chance you can access your Web History through that.

Use either history/view all history (ctrl-shift-h) or the history sidebar (ctrl-h)

put google into the search, and it should show all pages in history. If you always use a particular search site (say, http://www.google.com/search) you can put that in and get just the search queries.

Ah, missed you wanted to export the history as a flat file.

You can also use this app to dump out the whole history file (including google searches) as a flat text or html file, and then trim it down using usual text-searching methods.
