    In detail

    Every search filter, explained

    Filters are words you type into the same search box. Each one narrows the list, and you can stack as many as you need.

    Search Chrome history by site, with suggestions

    Type site: and History Monk lists the sites in your own history as you type, with how many pages and visits each one has and when you were last there. Pick one with the arrow keys and press Enter or Tab.

    • title: suggests words from your page titles, with how often each one appears.
    • after: and before: suggest today, yesterday, earlier days and every hour.
    • * works as a wildcard, so site:*.github.com covers every GitHub subdomain.

    Search browser history by date and time

    after: and before: understand dates the way you would write them. A date on its own covers the whole day, a time on its own means today, and a day plus a time join up into one moment.

    • Dates: today, yesterday, 2026-08-01, 2sep or 2-september-2026.
    • Times: 9am, 9:30pm or 17:30.
    • Anything it can’t read, like after:banana, is ignored instead of breaking the search.

    Prefer clicking? Use the Filters panel

    The Filters button opens a panel with the same controls, and its badge shows how many are on. Everything you set there shows up as a chip under the search box, so you can remove it in one click.

    • Match searches the title and address, the title only or the address only.
    • Hour keeps only pages from one hour of the day, on any date.
    • Search syntax lists every operator with an example. Click one to add it to your search.

    What else it does

    • Dates the way you say them

      today, yesterday, 2026-08-01 or 2sep, plus times like 9am and 17:30. after:yesterday after:6pm means yesterday from 6 PM.

    • Suggestions as you type

      Type site: and your own sites appear with their page counts. after: suggests recent days and hours.

    • Sites and subdomains

      site:google.com includes mail.google.com. Add several site: terms to search more than one site.

    FAQ

    Questions about search filters

    How do I search my Chrome history for one website?

    Type site: and the domain, for example site:github.com, then any words you remember. Subdomains are included. Use -site: to leave a site out instead.

    Can I search browser history by date and time?

    Yes. after: and before: take today, yesterday, dates like 2026-08-01 or 2sep, and times like 9am or 17:30. You can use both in one search to get a window of time.

    Does it support regular expressions?

    Yes. Wrap the pattern in slashes, like /pull\/\d+/. It matches the page title and address, and works together with every other filter.
