FatBits Software Updates Herodotus, a Web Browser History and Bookmark Search Application to Version 1.3.

Herodotus is a Web browser history search application for Mac OS X. It allows you to search the history file of many popular Mac Web browsers. Supported browsers include: Safari, Internet Explorer, OmniWeb, Netscape / Mozilla, Camino, and Opera.

New in version 1.3:

A new Archive option stores browser history entries to a database even after your browser has forgotten them

Startup time has been dramatically reduced and a startup progress bar is now in place. Opening new search windows happens instantly instead of after a long pause. The Reload button is also accompanied by a progress bar

Herodotus now soft highlights sites that share the same domain as the selected web site

Mozilla based browsers now include Date and Title information

Camino 0.8 bookmarks can now be imported

Dates are now shown for bookmarks when available. The date is that of your last visit to the site

Dates are much more accurate for all browsers

Herodotus now finds Mozilla based browser's history and bookmark files even more reliably

You can now open history and bookmark files manually

The "Both" search option has been changed to "Either" and a true "Both" option has been added. Results returned for "Both" will contain the search phrase in both the title and address

HTML escape sequences are now removed from URLs and titles that contain them

Moved the cache folder from username/Preferences to username/Caches

All refferences to Firebird have been changed to Firefox
