You're inadvertently hinting towards an elegant solution: forget about trying to organize bookmarks. Instead, just hit a button to add that page to your micro-web, and later only use Google-like full text search for retrieving things.
It's the content search part that browsers are missing -- can anyone confirm whether Raindrop or other bookmarking services do it well?
Not really a web, is it? The web is not hierarchical like the folder/sub-folder structure of a browser's bookmarks; the web has a network organization.
One thing that hasn't been implemented ad nauseum would be a powerful, simple, easy, convenient and effective logic for reorganizing and untangling a hopelessly confused, poorly organized, redundant, error-infested and ill-conceived hierarchical knowledge base such as an outline of a extensive subject, a decades-old bookmarks folder, or the hierarchical call tree of mission critical enterprise software system.
What about:
- browser saves content of each bookmark
- browser’s search bar searches both existing bookmarks _and_ queries the user’s configured search engine
- browser shows results (not too many) from bookmarks above the search engine’s ones (in place of its adverts and removing duplicates would be better, but that might lead to lawsuits about tampering with web pages/deteriorating search results)
Maybe, your browser should also search your entire hard disk, email, etc?
It worked extremely well for me.
Hence the list of bookmarking apps mentioned, :p. I think they're all trying to solve this problem in one way or another.
