Not quite what you asked, but perhaps interesting either way: I recently made an extension that keeps text only copies of all visited sites for offline usage [1].

No full text search included. Might be that grepping through the extension data is reasonably fast, even with multiple years of browsing history, however. I too see this data as valuable, so it's probably better to start capturing now and migrate somewhere else later, rather than wait for your desired browser to implement it.
