Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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".

User reviews

It would be nice if results could be selected with tab, and option to hide bookmark path + custom generated shortcuts on the right side. I am a frontend developer and I can contribute to your project to add those features, message me at: [email protected]

Would love the ability to use Tab to iterate over search elements, rather than the arrow keys, when there are multiple results for a search. Example: searching bookmarks of account names under multiple services, searching bookmarks of the same site with different page titles, etc. Being able to use the tab key would make this significantly easier, rather than creating longer searches or editing the titles of bookmarks themselves

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.
