This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
I've seen a lot of post here about viewing the the browser history, and I have searched for 'browser history', 'history view' and I can't find anything in the browser or the browser settings.
It's probably pretty obvious once you know it, but I'm lost for now...

We list 20 recently visited pages in history view that have highest visited count (2.1.0 feature). Maybe we listed more at early days of Sailfish, don't recall by heart.
If you're thinking about desktop Firefox's "Show All history" view, we haven't had that kind history management view.
Btw, no need to open a new tab to see history, entering text to the url field will filter history as well.

that have highest visited count
This is not what I get. Websites that I visited once about a yearago keep popping up as the first result, pushing down those which I visit every day. E.g. I can start typing "together", and instead of TJC as the first search proposal I get gitlab.com (because its HTML title says "code, test and deploy together" - or at least said when I visited it that single time about 1,5 years ago).

A low-level command-line (FingerTerm or SSH) alternative until the interface adds a Show All history (currently missing, according to rainemak 's answer) :
.local/share/org.sailfishos/sailfish-browser/sailfish-browser.sqlite sqlite3 cli toolbrowser_history table.tables to get the list of tables).schema browser_history to get the columns).Sample of a request to get the 10 most recent visits to website containing wikipedia in the URL (while completely ignoring the visited_count column, unlike the autosuggestion built into the app that factors in highest visited) :
select url from browser_history where url regexp '.*wikipedia.*' order by date desc limit 10;
You can also use like '%wikipeda%' rather than regexp '.*wikipedia.*' if you're more comfortable with wildcards patterns rather than with regular expressions.

@Tanghus in order to get history it will be filtered by whatever letter you type first in the search or enter address field, so if i type a it will start listing all the urls i accessed historically that contain the letter a starting in it.

Hello! I still think, that this question is not resolved. A couple of things with the history: 1. A new user will not think about typing a space character to find the "full" history. My solution: In the New Tab URL/bookmark-view: add a button for the last 20 pages, if you need to crop the list, and show them in a new window.
Jolla, please check this!

Interesting. I thought there were no way to see history, aside from opening a new tab and starting to type something.
Eagerly waiting for an answer as well.

Tanghus ( 2017-02-01 10:43:44 +0200 )editOk, well if you read those posts, there are explanations on how they manage to see the history. Apparently the behaviour has changed a bit since 2014 but you can ask more info directly to the followers of these topics.
