When I search in "History" for items I've called up, I get a page with the heading "Library." but with no text beneath it. Thanks.

Question

I think it will be helpful for you to know that the History page to which I refer has beneath it such categories as Tags, All Bookmarks and Bookmarks Toolbar.
I sometimes want to get back to an article (or whatever) that I called up earlier in the day or within the last week or more.
Can you help? Thanks.

Answer 1

I hope you see the Library List menu, and column headings, but not seeing any text doesn't sound good.
Sidebar and Library Lists
* History Sidebar("Ctrl+H"), History Library List("Ctrl+Shift+H")
* Bookmarks Sidebar("Ctrl+B), Bookmarks Library List("Ctrl+Shift+B")
Content:
* The '''sidebars''' are automatically populated and then restricted by a search.
* The '''Library list''' is usually empty until you make a selection History or Bookmarks on the left side panel of the Library List or enter a search. Entering a colon (":") would pick up everything avaiable in the category chosen.
The '''search arguments''' are strings that exist in the Title or URL and can be entered in any order. The columns in the Library list can be sorted by clicking on the column heading for ascending/decending sort, or right-click on column heading (or View on menu) to add/remove columns, and columns can be dragged to change order of columns.
The '''location bar''' uses the '''AwesomeBar''' search designed for it and can be restricted with keys to (Bookmarks, History, Tags, Title, URL, typed, Tabs) and search strings and key can be entered in any order and results appear until you hit enter. The other lists share the search strings but key does not apply because they are already specific.
