Search & Filters

​

Command Menu Overview

The command menu provides lightning-fast search across your entire bookmark collection. It searches through titles, URLs, and tags simultaneously, helping you find exactly what you’re looking for.

​

Opening the Command Menu

There are two ways to open the command menu:

​

Keyboard Shortcut

Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the application.

​

Click the Search Button

Click the Search button in the top navigation bar. The button displays the keyboard shortcut hint for quick reference.

​

Searching for Bookmarks

​

Keyboard Navigation

The command menu is optimized for keyboard-only usage:

​

Search Results Display

Each search result shows:

• Favicon - The website’s icon for quick visual recognition
• Title - The bookmark’s title
• URL - The full web address in smaller, gray text

Results are displayed in a scrollable list, with the most relevant matches appearing first based on your search query.

​

Empty States

​

No Bookmarks

If you haven’t added any bookmarks yet, the command menu will display:

“You have no saved bookmarks.”

​

No Results Found

When your search doesn’t match any bookmarks, you’ll see:

• A helpful message explaining no results were found
• A suggestion to try a different search term or clear the search
• A Clear search button to reset the search field

​

Additional Filtering Options

The command menu search works together with other filtering options available in the main interface.

​

Time Period Filters

Filter bookmarks by when they were added:

• All time - Shows all bookmarks
• Last month - Shows only bookmarks added in the past 30 days
• Last week - Shows only bookmarks added in the past 7 days

To change the time period filter, click the calendar icon at the bottom of the screen and cycle through the options.

​

Sort Order

Control how bookmarks are sorted in your collection:

• Newest first (descending) - Most recently added bookmarks appear at the top
• Oldest first (ascending) - Earliest bookmarks appear at the top

Toggle between sort orders by clicking the sort icon at the bottom of the screen.

​

Tag Filters

Filter your collection to show only bookmarks with specific tags. This is useful when you want to focus on a particular category or project. Learn more about tag filtering in Tags & Organization.

​

Combining Filters

You can combine multiple filtering methods for precise results:

Example: Finding recent work bookmarks

1. Set the time period filter to “Last week”
2. Apply a tag filter for “work”
3. Open the command menu and search for specific keywords

This will show only bookmarks that:

• Were added in the past 7 days
• Have the “work” tag
• Match your search query

​

Search Performance

The search is designed to be fast and responsive:

• Real-time results - Updates as you type without delay
• Instant filtering - Works on the client side for zero latency
• No pagination - All matching results are shown immediately

​

Tips for Effective Searching

​

Search by Domain

Since search includes URLs, you can find all bookmarks from a specific domain:

• Type github.com to find all GitHub bookmarks
• Type youtube to find all YouTube videos

​

Search by Tag

Quickly find all bookmarks with a specific tag by typing the tag name in the search field. This is faster than manually filtering by tag when you know exactly what you’re looking for.

​

Use Partial Matches

You don’t need to type complete words. The search will match partial strings, so:

• doc will match “documentation”, “docs”, and “docker”
• react will match “React Tutorial”, “reactjs.org”, and bookmarks tagged with “react”

​

Clear Search Often

Use the Clear search button or delete your query to see all bookmarks again. This helps when you want to browse rather than search for something specific.
