Often when I am doing research and using Google a lot, I quickly visit many web pages. Being a visual person, I am more likely to remember what a page looked like than what is was called. History Cover Flow works well for me.
To get to History Cover Flow, you first need to go to Top Sites. There is a Search History text field on the bottom right of the Top Sites Page. (It seems like there should be a more direct way to get to History Cover Flow, like from the History menu, but if there is, I can't find it.)
If you just click in the Search History text field without typing anything, you will see all of your History in Clove Flow. Once you type a search term, the results will be restricted to pages that contain that search term. Unlike previous versions of Safari where you could only search the page titles, Safari 4's Search History searches the entire text of web pages.
Some pages will only show a black box with the Safari logo and a padlock in it. These pages were secure pages such as an order entry page that would show private information like addresses and credit card numbers. This is a good thing.
To leave History Cover Flow, click on the thumbnail of the page you want to visit or select another page to go to by either selecting a Bookmark or typing in a web address.
