Chrome browsing history is so lame

[saor]

Is it just me?
I really like the speed of Chrome etc. but one of the things that drives me crazy is it's inability to recall previously browsed sites from a keyword.

As an example, I clicked on a thread I've never been to in both firefox and chrome:


Then closed that tab and in a new tab entered a phrase from that link - in this case the word 'dog':

Firefox, there's it is:


Chrome, wtf:


There's these little things in Chrome that make it so frustrating to use.

Cntr+h for history?

Depending on how much browsing you do, that can be infuriating slow.

The best was Opera (pre-Chromium) where it would even search the content of pages - not just the titles.

This.

In Firefox opening history is instant. Chrome lags behind. Besides, I don't really want to open history all the time...it should just return results based on the keywords typed into the address bar.

Same here. OP probably has this setting disabled: "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" or his Chrome profile became corrupted. Just delete it and sign in again...

Chrome doesn't keep a very big history for autocomplete. It also seems to only keep the most frequently visited sites. I use Chrome cause it's currently the best of a bad bunch. Opera 11.xx was still the best.
