## Description

**History Helper** is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your browser's history search capabilities beyond the default interface. Unlike the standard viewer, it allows you to filter your search by page title or URL, specify visit counts, and set precise date ranges. You can add multiple search terms and exclude specific words to hone in on exactly what you're looking for.

This extension supports searching whole phrases rather than splitting terms and offers regular expression support for advanced queries. Whether you're trying to find a specific website or need detailed filtering options, History Helper provides a faster, more accurate way to navigate your browsing history efficiently.
