I want to find a Web page that I visited a few weeks ago and opened my history sidebar and tried to use the search feature. I did not clear my history, I KNOW I was doing a web search for a cactus that I saw on a hike, but when I type in what I had been looking for NO RESULTS. Also, I have found that when I view my history, a LOT of it just isn't there. Is there some way to thoroughly search every single website I've visited?

When you opened history did it give a history list of the sites you visited?
