Raindrop.io nickname r

[jopl]

Hi there,

I really like vivaldi so far but raindrop.io is a really important tool for me where I have all my bookmarks. In chrome I can enter 'r' in the searchbar hit space and search through all my bookmarks which is simply amazing.

I got so used to this that I can no longer live without this feature...

I discovered that you can do this with search engines in vivaldi which is something I missed in Chrome so thats awesome too but I can't figure out how to make it work with raindrop.io.

Can somebody help me?

Is it the raindrop extension that registers a special keyword? If that's not working then it's worth filing a bug report, as chrome extensions should be compatible with Vivaldi.

If it's a search engine, you would need to figure out the url to direct to and add a custom one of your own.

There is a note in the support area of the extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/raindropio-save-button-fo/ldgfbffkinooeloadekpmfoklnobpien

Google Chrome Version 71.0.3578.80 (Official build), (64 bit)
In short, does not work

Maybe chromium updates need addressing by the raindrop dev(s)?

Apparently you can:

• set up a bookmarklet to add URLs directly into their system
• set up a search engine manually (method 2) to search from the Address Bar or Quick Commands (e.g. “r weekend plans”):
  • Name: raindrop
  • Nickname: r
  • URL: https://app.raindrop.io/?#/collection/0/%5B%7B%22key%22%3A%22word%22%2C%22val%22%3A%22%S%22%7D%5D

Taking a look at their extension, one might also find a way to call their /api/ to provide search suggestions.

@Dantesoft your answer is the one that got me closest to the desired state.

set up a search engine manually (method 2) to search from the Address Bar or Quick Commands (e.g. “r weekend plans”):

Name: raindrop

Nickname: r

URL: https://app.raindrop.io/?#/collection/0/%5B%7B%22key%22%3A%22word%22%2C%22val%22%3A%22%S%22%7D%5D

I can search for links but:

• I don't get live search results as I type
• When I press enter it opens the extension page with the search term entered in the search bar

Now this is a big improvement but still not at the level of the chrome browser.

I had a look at their API but so far I haven't seen a 'search' function. I assume they cache the bookmarks locally and perform a local search through the bookmarks...
