Is there any way to search in your Google Chrome history for a pdf file? I know you can accomplish this in the regular Google search box with filetype:pdf. But this does not work in the history search box.
This is the search box I am talking about:
In case it matters, I am using Google Chrome 24.
Chrome does sync History now.
Google does keep a track of previous searches, when you're logged into your account.
You can't with the built-in history, but maybe you could try an extension:
History 2 overrides default history page with a more user-friendly one. (Tools Menu > History or Ctrl-H)
History 2: A history page like the original but grouped by the host for easy viewing.
A better look at your browsing history. The best searching, the sharpest interface, and the most useful filters - for your history. It's Chrome History, only much Better.
EDIT: Another good extension you could try:
- Select date range easier: Today, Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, All
- Select max result number easier: 100, 250, 500, 1000
- Delete history
- Grouping same domain in the list
- Show visit counts each url in the list
