Keeping Track of Where You've Been | |||||||
As you explore the Internet, OmniWeb remembers the URLs of the sites and pages you visit. This history is saved between sessions, so even if you quit and restart OmniWeb, you can find your way back to where you've been.
Global History The Global History keeps track of every web page OmniWeb has visited, and is saved between sessions. It's organized by web site; clicking the disclosure triangle (▶) to the left of the listing for a site shows the pages you've been to at that site. Double-clicking any entry will open it in the browser window to which the drawer is attached. If you'd like to go back to a particular site, and don't remember its URL or title, try typing some words in the Search field at the top of the Persistent History listing. This will narrow the list of displayed URLs down, showing only the links to pages that contain the words you type. (To go back to showing all the URLs in Global History, clear any text you've typed out of the Search field.) The number of sites OmniWeb remembers in its Persistent History can be increased or decreased in History Preferences. Also, if you'd rather forget that you've been to a particular site, you can select it in the history list and delete it. Browser History Browser History shows, in sequential order, the pages you've been to in the browser window to which the drawer is attached. To go back to a particular page, double-click on its entry in the list. Clicking the Back and Forward buttons on the browser window toolbar will step you back and forth through this list. Other options If "Autocomplete" known addresses is turned on in General Preferences, you can start typing the URL or title of a page you've been to in the Location bar, and OmniWeb will fill in the rest. Clicking on the down-arrow at the right-side end of the Location bar will open a menu of addresses from your history; selecting an item from the menu will open it in the browser window.
