Gosh, this looks handy.

That is a really great tool. My only problem so far: the search function is weak. I've captured several articles on Rove's recent antics, and the only captures a search for "Rove" reveals are pages including words that end in "..roved". What's up with that?

I haven't really tried to use it much so far, so I'm not sure. The nice thing is, it'll probably be developed over the next few months. Have you visited the developer's website?

Of course, there's always Furl. (And I'd just like to say that I had that idea first, but Nick didn't want to develop it, the bastard.)

I was wrong. The search function is powerful. Just make sure you choose to "update cache for full text search" by clicking on the downward-pointing triangle next to the magnifying class in the search field, and choosing "tools". I guess you'll need to do this before every search, if you've saved more pages since you last updated the cache.

Cool. And then, of course, you can always use MozBackup to make sure that your document collection is safe and that it's easy to restore your settings in the case of a computer disaster.
