Summary

Whenever you get too many bookmarks and folders it's becoming really annoying to find the one you're looking for. That's why I made this extension - to make it simple!

Now you can simply click the logo of the extension (after installed), and start typing until you find your bookmark and click it. This is also available by a shortcut - cmd+E (Mac)/ctrl+W (Windows/Linux).

Although there are other similar extensions out there, I couldn't find at the time anyone that searches according to the folder(s) name as well. Likewise, all extensions I found, search by URL as well, which I find faulty. So they search by name and URL, while I search by name and folder(s) name.

And on top of that I added some cool features I found really helpful:

  • Search by multiple words or partial words separated by spaces.
  • When there are no results the search algorithm collapses and starts searching by letters instead of words, a search which easily overcomes typos.
  • For every bookmark, a dedicated (technical) shortcut is calculated (and shown to the right of the every result), with the shortest length possible, and also by a priority which is based on how close are the keyboard keys to each other. Type a shortcut to get its bookmark as the first result on the search, so you can then simply press enter to open it. If you want to checkout alternative suggested shortcuts - click it. It will reveal a list of alternative suggestions you might prefer.

The suggested shortcut to show the search popup is cmd+E (Mac)/ctrl+W (Windows). If you're having issues with this shortcut, please try reinstalling the extension. If you want to change the shortcut, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and set a shortcut for "Bookmarks Quick Search".

Súper útil, uso esta extensión constantemente. Si estás acostumbrado a usar mucho el teclado, esta extensión es prácticamente fundamental. La única cosa que añadiría sería la posibilidad de que el marcador que se seleccione se pudiese abrir en la pestaña actual en vez de una nueva. Quizás usando una combinación de teclas como Shift + Enter.

I don't know why typing texts to the search box is quite slow.

Nice! Would love an option to open in the current tab... instead of always opening in a new tab. Possible?
