If your browser supports it, yes! Just click here, or right click on the search field (the one you enter your keywords in) and select "Create a search" or similar, depending on your browser. You will then be able to search historious directly from your browser's search box.
Can I import bookmarks from other sites or export my list of historified sites?
We do support both import and export. To access this functionality, visit your settings page. You can both export a list of your historified sites and import lists of bookmarks from other sources, such as your browser, other online bookmarking services, etc. Any file that contains site addresses in it will work, just export it from your bookmarking service and select it in the import page.
