How to View Browser History and Search Queries

Open the History tab to review browsing activity found in the selected browser profile. Depending on the browser and the data stored in its files, Hetman Internet Spy can show visited URLs, page titles, visit dates and times, search queries, visit counts, and other available details.

Use sorting and filters to narrow the results and find specific activity. You can filter records by date, website, category, or other available fields. For example, the Adult content filter can be used to display visits classified in this category.

For easier analysis, detected browsing activity can be grouped into several categories:

• Visits – displays visited webpages and the information available for each visit, such as the URL, page title, date and time.
• Search – shows search queries detected in browser data, together with the search service and the time when the query was made.
• Social media – groups browsing records related to supported social networks and other social media websites.
• Translations – groups visits and available query data related to online translation services.
• Mail – groups browser activity associated with webmail services when corresponding records are present in the browser profile.

These categories are created from information stored by the browser. The amount and type of data available depend on the browser, its version, profile settings, and which records still exist in the profile files.

Open the Sessions tab to review browser session information. When supported session data is still available in the profile, it can help identify recently opened websites, tabs, and browser windows.

To identify websites that were visited most frequently, open the Top Sites tab. The program displays this information when the selected browser stores corresponding statistics in its profile.

The Bookmarks section displays bookmarks found in the selected browser profile, making it easier to review websites the user saved for later access.

Open the Downloads section to review information about files downloaded through the browser. Depending on the available records, you can see details such as the file name, download source, date and time, destination path, and file size.

In addition to browsing history and search activity, Hetman Internet Spy can examine other information stored in the selected browser profile. Depending on the browser, operating system, and available profile data, you can review saved credentials, browser databases and configuration files, cached images, and other resources created during normal browser use.

Review Saved Passwords

Open the Passwords section to review login information saved in the selected browser profile. Depending on how the browser stores its credentials, the program can display website addresses, usernames, and passwords that are available for analysis.

Modern browsers may protect saved passwords with operating-system or browser-level encryption. Hetman Internet Spy does not bypass or decrypt such protection, so encrypted credentials may not be available in readable form.

The amount of information shown depends on the browser, operating system, browser version, profile configuration, and whether the corresponding data is still present in the profile.

Inspect Browser Profile Files and Databases

For a more detailed examination, open the Files tab. It provides access to the files stored inside the browser profile, including databases, configuration files, session data, and other resources used by the browser.

Many browsers store history, downloads, bookmarks, form data, and other information in SQLite databases or similar structured files. Hetman Internet Spy can present supported database content as tables, making individual records easier to review and search.

Other browser files can also be inspected directly. This can be useful when the information you need does not have a dedicated section in the program, or when you want to examine the underlying browser data in greater detail.

For example, additional form or autofill information may be available inside browser databases when the browser has stored it in an accessible form. The exact content varies between browsers and browser versions.

View Images Stored in the Browser Cache

Open the Images tab to review pictures and other image files found in the browser cache. Browsers may temporarily store images downloaded while webpages are being viewed so that the same resources can be loaded more quickly later.

Cached images can provide additional context when analyzing browsing activity, especially when a webpage itself is no longer available or when its URL alone does not clearly indicate what content was viewed.

The contents of the cache depend on the browser settings, cache cleanup, storage limits, and whether the corresponding files are still present in the browser profile.

After reviewing the detected browser data, you can export the analysis results for later use, documentation, or further examination. Hetman Internet Spy lets you export all available information or only the records from the section you are currently viewing.

To create a report, click the corresponding button in the main menu to open the Export Wizard. Report generation is available in the registered version of the program.

Choose What Browser Data to Export

Select which analysis results should be included in the report. By default, Hetman Internet Spy can export all available information from the analyzed browser profile.

If you only need a specific type of browser activity, select the option to export information from the currently opened section. This lets you create a focused report containing, for example, browsing history, search queries, downloads, bookmarks, sessions, or other available records. Click Next to continue.

Select the Report Format and Save Location

Choose where you want to save the exported report and select the required output format. Hetman Internet Spy can save analysis results as Excel, HTML, or PDF, allowing you to review, archive, print, or process the collected information outside the program.

After selecting the destination and report format, click Next and follow the Export Wizard to complete the process.
