Welcome to Historia!

Historia is a Chrome Extension which powers users to query through their history with any vague idea that they have about the website and its content. It will even let you search for an image that you have seen somewhere in your past visits using the descriptions that is provided by the user. We have a cross platform Mobile Application which will let the user search through his browser history even in mobile phones.
