Add Searchable Tags for Bookmarks
-
@josephj11 Sorry, I didn't make that precision.
I did add umbrella, test and cat (+tree and whisky - not used in the examples provided) to both Bloomberg and Browser Statistics "Description" and, in the screenshots, I show that both websites are displayed as expected.The aim was just to give a workaround for people searching (like me) for that feature and wanting to do something +/- handy in the meantime...
(
for a possible development) -
Yes please! This would enable folks to use Vivaldi over websites like raindrop or other bookmark managers
-
@brimwats Never saw raindrop.io before. Looks like a very useful tool - especially for projects.
-
Seems to me that in the current version of Vivaldi, searching for words in the description now works as independent attributes, not as a single string, at least based on my own little testing.
I gave 3 different bookmarks these descriptions (the # is probably not necessary, I just felt like using them to make them obvious they are tags):
#Wikipedia #cat #dreamcast #test #gamecube
#Wikipedia #Translate @Translate #test
#test #WikipediaWriting "#Wikipedia #Test" and "#Test #Wikipedia" both returned all 3 bookmarks in the address bar for me.

A follow up on this: sadly it looks like the current version of Vivaldi only displays the first 15 matches it finds when searching in the description box. So if you use a tag on more than 15 bookmarks (which is not hard to do), it's basically useless at the moment.
-
@Tarnish Even with that limitation, it's better than nothing, but a separate feature would be better and it would be nice if it worked like search engines where there is more control such as being able to use and or and not. E.g. Opera and not browser.
-
Mozilla has this feature and it is very useful. It is definitely an important feature.
-
@FatihSultan That's probably how we knew to ask for it in the first place.

Bump!
I would go a bit further, I am still an active FF user and tagging is one of the main (not only) reasons. I love Vivaldi and tend to use it more for work but regardless tagging is really needed.
The "bit further" part would be a del.icio.us type interface, the auto complete for ff is nice, and the little pull down menu is great but while I dont have hundreds of bookmarks I do have a fair number of them. A del.icio.us type of "cloud" of tags that would pop up when you bookmark a page with most often (not recently) used tags would be awesome.
Second would be bolstering the searching a bit with like the ability to see the list of tags, and then select multiple tags with the real time results changing/narrowing down with each additional tag selected.Just my thoughts.
-
I find that using tags in the description is very convenient; I can search by tags in the address bar or in the Bookmarks panel and, for me, using this workflow is faster than searching through a complex folder hierarchy in the Bookmarks panel.
Having tags as first-class citizen would be a great addition though.
I believe this could be done in increments:
- when displaying bookmark suggestions in the address bar, allow for displaying the description/tags of the bookmark as well.
- in the bookmark panel, add a button for opening all visible bookmarks; it can happen that bookmarks with the same tag are stored in different folders, I cannot just middle-click a folder and open all bookmarks having that same tag.
- auto-suggest tags, at least when searching in the Bookmarks panel.
- finally, add a new 'Tags' section, beside 'Nickname' and 'Description'.
Thanks !

@finkabit These suggestions would make the feature much more usable than what Firefox offers.
The one you list last would really be the initial minimum because there has to be a way to specify the tags in the first place.
-
Wow. I am currently desparately trying to organize my bookmarks. It is really necessary. And I thought, Vivaldi could surely help me with that. Tags are central for this. I cannot organize my bookmarks without them.
-
Registered just to bump this thread! FF's bookmark management in general, and tagging specifically, is its killer feature and a big part of why it's still my primary browser. Vivaldi would have a good shot at that spot if properly searchable bookmark tags could be implemented.
-
Vote up for this feature too, dont want to lose my tags/taxonomy from Firefox and want to move off of it. Need to have some way also to manage tags so that I can merge tags over time when I forget I have a tag for "car" and create a new one called "auto".
-
Dear Vivaldi devs, thank you for all the great work you put into this awesome browser but we desperately need the tags feature, we need our tags to be saved so we can add them (auto-complete) to new bookmarks without having to remember them for ourselves.
-
Vote up for "tags system" in bookmarks, this is veri usefull. Bookmark can marked with several tags, "folders system" not enougth.
-
@alex238 Vote for the first post if you haven't already done so. (Voting again will remove your vote).
-
@alex238
How is the "tags system" different from adding tags to the bookmark's description? (e.g.. #vivaldi #news, etc.) -
@shifte This is described in detail in the original requests, See the first post and the links in it to the original request which predates this whole features request forum.
Basically, real tags would do a lot more than a description text field and it would be nice to use the description as a description rather than as a place to shoehorn in metadata.
-
@josephj11
I understand.
It's functionally better than shoehorn for manage bookmark.
