Flexible full text browsing history search in Chrome! Press f, then space or tab, in the omnibar to start searching your previously visited websites! Every time you visit a website in Chrome, Falcon indexes all the text on the page so that the site can be easily found later.

If you know how, I strongly recommend installing "from source" manually rather than through the Chrome Webstore

Newly it does not index text of the visided pages
If you search "let in", it will return some sites containing a "let" and separately an "in" rather than sites with the full phrase "let in".
