In the Library window (Ctrl+Shift+h), if you put deathnote youtube.com in the tiny search box at the upper right, you should find pages that have both of those in the title and/or URL. But that is all Firefox's history has: titles, URLs, and visit date/time.

I don't think an extension could easily combine searching page content with history. Firefox's does save some page content in its web cache, but it's fragmented, temporary, and as far as I know, not searchable.

So let's get back to where we started: Google Advanced Search shows all the possible videos on the topics, and you need a list of which ones you have seen and which ones you haven't. When you generate your search results, the links usually should be colored differently for visited and unvisited URLs, but that's a little hard to see sometimes and what a pain to review page after page. Perhaps what would be useful is an extension that can run the search, pull the results, compare with your history, and give you two simple lists: visited and unvisited. I don't know that anyone has ever created anything like that.

There are history manager/search extensions that could help with searching by date. I don't use any of them, so I don't have a personal recommendation.
