Find the page by what it said
History can search the text of pages you read, and the address field finds them too. The switch is off until you turn it on in Settings › Privacy.
Several changes arrive in Satori 0.13.0. The largest is history that can search what pages said.
Turn on “Search history by page text” in Settings › Privacy. The switch is off by default. After that, a search such as “phone with 3 screens” finds the page about the iPhone Duo.
For each page you read for a few seconds, Satori keeps its title, its description, and about the first 300 words (2 KB at most), plus a short list of numbers that stands for its meaning. It keeps the latest 2,000 pages in one file on this Mac, sealed with the same key as your history. Nothing is sent anywhere, and extensions can’t search it. Satori saves a page only on power, never in Low Power Mode. It works out the meaning numbers only when the Mac has been idle for a minute.
Satori skips private tabs, Kensho windows, web apps, pages with a password field, sites you have a saved password for, search results, and mail, bank, health, account and sign-in hosts. Clear History, deleting a row, or turning the switch off deletes what was kept. Matches by meaning, shown under Close in meaning, work in English and German.
The address field works the same way. Press ⌘L, ⌘T or ⌘K and pages appear under In page text. Matches by meaning appear under Related by meaning, from three letters. It needs the same switch and never looks in a private tab. Open tabs are found by their text too.
A plain http:// address is asked for over https first. If the connection fails, the error page offers “Open over http:// anyway”, for that page once. Local addresses, other ports, forms, Back, Forward and Reload work as before. Settings › Privacy has a switch for this, on by default. Tabs on a page that failed over https keep the choice: “Try again” asks for https again instead of quietly opening http.
A new version of Satori waits for you quietly. The “ready, Restart” line appears only after the update has waited a day, and it still appears when you quit. Before, it showed as soon as the download finished.
Pull down to reload now takes a deliberate pull. Scrolling up to the top of a page, or flicking once more when you get there, no longer reloads it. A pull counts from a short way past the top, and it starts only after the scroll has rested for a moment. Letting go while your fingers still move fast scrolls instead. To reload, hold the page down past the mark and let go, as before. The switch is still in Settings.
