Abstract

A method is provided for enabling a user to search for documents that the user has previously viewed on its local machine. The documents with which the user interacts are monitored for predetermined events, and content data and metadata from the monitored documents is obtained. An index that includes parameters determined from the content data and metadata is created and a search of the index is performed to retrieve documents that the user has previously viewed.
