[tech] Permanent storage of pages while browsing?
Dear Lazyweb,
I'd like some convenient way to store web pages into a searchable repository, as I browse. Maybe even on by default, where every page I browse to is cached. You know, so I can say, "didn't I read something about that last year?" and execute an arbitrary google-style search on everything I read last year, as it appeared then.
I think maybe I don't want to be using a service on the web somewhere, for a couple of reasons: (1) I tried Instapaper and the bookmarking latency is awful and sometimes the link just never gets there. (2) I don't think I want my entire search history stored on anyone's computer but mine, thanks. (3) I'm under the impression that some of those services aggregate across users -- it's how they can manage the scope of the thing -- such that when the next user hits a page, the service stores the updated version over the old one, which defeats the purpose of "I want to see what it looked like when I last visited it myself." But I'm maybe open to convincing.
Is there a technology to do what I want? Note that I'm using a Mac OS 10.6 and any of Firefox, Camino, or Safari are good for this. Camino is preferred.
