How can I search my history on Android?

I would like to be able to search through my history on Android. I'm aware that typing in the Awesome Bar searches history but I need more entries ideally sorted by last visited date.

Perhaps it isn't possible currently or I'm just not seeing something obvious. If it doesn't exist currently, I would like to request it.

Why would this be useful to me?

I have sync configured. It works really well. I was doing something the other day (probably on my desktop). There are usually hundreds of history entries for a single day as my computer is also used for work. I usually remember 1 or 2 words of the title but there may be a few other history entries that share these words.

Hello Pedro

I suppose you need to sync your devices for this to happen if you haven't already

check out How do I set up Sync on my computer? and Sync bookmarks, tabs, history and passwords on Android

These will enable you to view your history and data across all synced devices.

Thanks for your message.

I have sync set up and it works great. It only shows me the latest 100 or so entries on the history screen and there is no way to make it search that I can see.

Hello Pedro

Sorry about that but being a new sync, I'm guessing that's why it does not have all the data. You can however put a pin on it to check on how it behaves in the next day or two
