This. Susan Dumais at Microsoft had a project called "Stuff I've Seen" [1] in the early days of desktop search. In a nutshell, it's indexing and information retrieval on the data that you use in your daily life -- web browsing, calendar events, etc.

I've often thought about trying to re-implement some of their ideas with a local caching proxy or a browser extension. If there's an open source attempt at this already, I'd love to hear about it.

Other use cases that I have are:

* I want to be able search all content & comments of HN submissions that I have either upvoted or saved.

* Want to search all the content of items saved in Pocket
