I just don't understand these tools. If someone stores bookmarks - why not put them into a text file - one line per bookmark, and then search with grep.

Or put them in the browser bookmark store and then search using the built-in search?

I feel silly that I never thought of this as a solution. My life may change starting today!

But you are loosing title of the webpage if you are bookmarking this way which is quite important while searching.

You can put titles, comments, and tags on the same line if you want.

That's pretty clearly an extra step that people want to avoid by using tools like these.
