About this extension
Firefox WebExtension for flexible full text browsing history search. **Press `e`, then `space`, in the omnibox to start searching your previously visited websites**

Every time you visit a website in Firefox, Eagle indexes all the text on the page so that the site can be easily found later. For example, if you type `e <space> browser fast for food`, Eagle will show the websites you visited containing the text "browser fast for food"!
--------------
Release 0.2.7 - To change the WebExtension preferences since this version, go to the tab dedicated to the management of add-ons (about:addons)

## More Details
- If you accidentally visit a page that is indexed that you don't want indexed, you can go into preferences and delete it from your indexed pages. You can also quickly add the site or web page that you do not want to index using the popup included in the toolbar of your browser by clicking on the add-on icon and then on Quick Blacklist
- All information is stored locally! No data leaves your computer over the network.
- Use `before:date` and `after:date` to search your history in a certain time range
- You can use natural language along with quotes to specify dates as well, e.g. `before:"yesterday at 3pm"`
- Use quotations to look for exact matches of strings containing whitespace
- Only documents containing all words will be returned

### Limitations
- WebExtension only works on sites that allow content scripts.
