Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
- Privacy focused. No telemetry or mandatory cloud service. Run Hister locally or on infrastructure you control.
- Full text indexing. Search the actual contents of visited pages and local files, not only titles and URLs.
- Automatic browser indexing. Save newly visited pages with the Firefox or Chrome extension.
- Powerful queries. Use field filters, phrases, wildcards, negation, aliases, and result priorities.
- Optional semantic search. Find documents by meaning through an embeddings endpoint you configure.
