Tiger only hintSafari 2.0 now supports searching the browser history. Apparently, this feature can only be accessed via the method presented here. Using Spotlight to search Safari browser history is not supported.

First, show all bookmarks by clicking the button on the Bookmarks bar, or via the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-B, or by selecting Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks.

A search field appears at the bottom of the Safari window. Select History from the Collections sidebar on the left-hand side. In the search box, select In History from the drop-down arrow. Enter a search query whereupon matching browser history search results are displayed.
