Quick Search Safari History

One of the issues I had with Safari is the inability to quickly search the history with or without spotlight tool. A Trick that was published a while ago at MacOSXhints.com describes the most standard method. From the History menu item select the show all history as shown below.

Thsi will reveal all the history and at the top right corner there will be an input for a search field. Alternative to that, is my tip that although it is not searching the whole history it is helpful since it is using the power of spotlight. All Help menu in 10.5.x have a spotlight feature, that searches the menu items. Recent history in Safari, is stored under the History menu and therefore it becomes spotlight searchable as is evident my the picture below.
This way you have your history always handy and you can find what you saw a few days ago.
