BrowseBack helps you find it again

BrowseBackI just discovered a very handy application by SmileOnMyMac Software, BrowseBack, which stores a detailed log of viewed web pages and presents a visual listing of your browser history. By keeping archived copies of web pages you’ve seen, you can easily hunt backwards in time for a page which you haven’t bookmarked and now need again. What was once a time-consuming task, usually involving history searches and some Googling, can now be done in seconds.

BrowseBack also offers the ability to save any previously viewed page as a PDF, email it, or print it, just in case you want a more permanent copy. History can be searched by date and by content, both of which help you find what you’re looking for faster than conventional methods. For those who use alternative Mac browsers such as Firefox, BrowseBack supports all the major browsers, ensuring that you’re not left out in the cold. If you often find yourself looking through browser history for that thing you “just saw the other day,” BrowseBack should make your queries as painless as possible.

Right idea, wrong idea. I don't want a visual catalog of EVERY web page I visit. I want to click a button that says, "remember this page" and then be able to search within that set later on.

I also don't want to have to keyword the page. Clicking "remember" should grab the text of the page and index it so I don't have to do so.
