There was a story recently (don't remember which) that sparked a discussion about indexing all the sites I've ever visited. In other words, provide me with a browser history search that didn't suck, in that if I remember looking at some article a few months ago, I should be able to find it pretty easily.
I bring this up because I think this is a great concept, and would be a great tie-in service to (what I understand of) Greplin. That would make it "search for anything you're supposed to know, we'll find it", which to me sounds really cool.
Edit: So your tagline is "the search bar for your life", which fits what I was talking about above even better.
A note from a quick look at your site: the text under the second column ("Greplin works with nearly every computer, browser and mobile device in the market.") is badly aligned, and seems to "crash into" the text on the last column. Looks really bad and makes it hard to read, so you might want to fix it (I'm using Chrome).
Secondly, congrats! Always happy to hear about other Israelis succeeding. Is there any way I can get in touch with you? I'm applying to YC, and would appreciate any advice you have about dealing with visas/etc.
MSR had a prototype application called "Stuff I've Seen" [1]. It was pretty neat - it would index your browser history (along with other stuff). I don't know what happened to it, but I'm guessing that it eventually ended up being part of Windows Desktop Search. I liked the idea that if I remember seeing something earlier, that this tool would find it.
Yup, browser history search is an idea I am toying up with my web app, http://www.folderboy.com. At the moment FolderBoy is search-as-you-type for stuff that you jot down. With hierarchical labels for fluid organizing.
