Bookmark search guide
How to search bookmarks by tags and keywords
Tag search works best when you know the topic or label you used. A small, consistent vocabulary turns a large bookmark library into a set of precise filters.
Start with the word you remember
Search the strongest known term first: a technology, client, format, or status such as React, Acme, case study, or to review.
Then narrow by folder or another keyword. The goal is not a clever query; it is a small result set you can scan quickly.
Combine tags by purpose
These combinations work only when the underlying vocabulary is consistent. Merge singular/plural duplicates and choose one spelling for recurring concepts.
- Topic + format: accessibility + checklist
- Project + source: redesign + research
- Tool + status: Figma + to review
- Audience + intent: founders + pricing
Fix search at save time
Confirm two to five useful keywords when saving. Remove generic suggestions and add the one term your future self is likely to type.
Use the search documentation for the exact keyword and folder controls, and the keyword guide to clean up labels.
Use a different method when words are missing
Tag and keyword search assumes you remember a label. It should not be stretched into a solution for every retrieval problem.
If you forgot the title and only remember what the page meant, read how to find bookmarks by meaning. That semantic workflow is Pro; known-keyword search stays Free.
