Simplify the task of finding past web-searches with "My Last Search"



No matter what sort of an internet user you are, full time, part time, addicted/allergic to the internet, you must've searched for online content once in a while. Internet searching is a habit every bit as integral to our online presence as our breathing. Now tell me, how many time have you come across a situation in which you need to look back into the mirror of time and say, find what were you searching for 3 days ago? Plenty right? Without proper knowledge of browser caches, cookies and lots of other nerdy stuff, that might well be a hefty task. That is where "My Last Search" comes in handy.

My Last Search reveals past searches performed on major browsers like IE and Firefox (sorry Opera lovers) over front running search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo. They are also adding support for additional search engines just incase someone has a special taste in crawlers.
MLS is a versatile app teeming with features for both pros (AKA "Command Line"-lovers) and newbies. The application is unbelievable small (47 K) and fully portable (no need hassling for an installation). Just download the .zip file, extract in a folder and get started. The property dialogue (visible as the second window in the screenshot ) which pops up when you double click on a history item has a couple of useful options that lets you detect the search terms, the browser used, time of search, URL etc. Just one thing to keep in mind though, if you are a person (like myself) who deletes his/her browser history on an hourly/daily basis, you might just find a few sharp corners while using this app.

My Last Search is released by Nirsoft and is a freeware compatible with Windows only. It is available in a few different languages.
