It's fairly common for me to see a post containing some nugget making me think "oh, that's clever, better make a bookmark of it so I can use it in the future!".
Over time I have accumulated a huge amount of such nuggets, which I'm very glad for. However, it turns out that it's surprisingly difficult for me to find the
right nugget in my bookmarks when I go look for it. To find the right content, I've forced myself to manually open each bookmark list page (
example) and then manually open all candidate bookmarks and then manually read through them looking for the relevant posts. Needless to say this is a thankless task that drains my will to live.
So I have come up with a wish to solve this. Considering that fact that
@Erel has modified the search engine somehow (I don't really know if this wish intersects with any custom code, but I'm making a guess it is), perhaps it would be possible to add a checkbox to the search page? This search box would do a simple (queue Erels eyes rolling
) join with the bookmark table for the active user - and presto, we'd limit the search results to the bookmarks.
I've produced a detailed mockup of what this could look like, at considerable cost and time:
(Bookmark tags aren't a help here, it's the actual
content of the bookmark/thread title that's relevant for me.)
