You do a web search, find the right answer on your
first try. Then continue to look into all kinds of things
and for the life of it, cannot get back to your original
search.
Tada! Searchmarks to the rescue.
A google plugin for chrome (or the likes for both the
search engine and the browser)
that remembers your
search terms and puts your latest in a cloud with a
minus
and X sign next to each.
The tag cloud comes up AFTER you click a link and are
already INSIDE the linked website. Do nothing, and
your search is saved, and the cloud slowly fades away.
When on google you can click Searchmarks off, if its
annoying. And you can dismiss the Searchmarks on a
site
(Dismiss always for this site, Turn Searchmarks off,
Dismiss now)
Clicking on a search term highlights the term. Clicking
on the minus forgets it. Clicking on the X forgets it
from
all previous searches of yours.
Clicking on My Searchmarks show lists of searches,
sorted by keywords repeatedly used.
Clicking on My Searchmarks Cloud shows a tag-cloud
with all keywords. The cloud has words close to each
other when they are used together.

Now I get it. Thanks sleepy. + |

Instead of another feature or plugin, I'd much rather have a
way to tell Google to stop fucking around trying to
anticipate my preferences and just log a chronological list
like any perfectly sane search engine would do. |

Remember when a search engine would just go find shit
and bring it back for you, without offering you fries and a
toy and trying to do the thinking for you? Ahh... yep, those
were the days. |

Google has search history (as long as you're logged in when
you do the search). I think it wouldn't be too difficult to write
a browser extension to display that data as a word cloud. |
