It's really nice!

Three suggestions:

1. Add a snippet with the search terms highlighted

2. Show the date bookmarked in the result list and (if possible) the date of the last update.

3. Document the query language for extended queries

Two questions:

1. Do you reindex bookmarks after some time?

2. What indexing engine and platform do you use? (lucene/java?)

One remark:

1. The Chrome extension is unable to bookmark sometimes. The bookmarklet is working great.

Where are my bookmarks? I added them, but I can't find an easy way to see them- although I can search through them. The auto tweet option is cool, but what about a "post to FaceBook" option. Might help you adopt a few more people. URL shortening service might also be something to look at- historio.us/linkid. You will have to switch some stuff up, like the key- historio.us/user/key_value. Allow me to also change my em…

Thank you for your feedback, let me address the points one by one: 1) You can't see your bookmark, that's the point. You don't have to see them unless you're looking for them! However, we realise people might need to see the entire list, so you can search for * or "http" to get a list of your bookmarks. The * search is a bit broken right now, but we are working to fix it. 2) Facebook posting is also planned! 3) Thank…

We came out with something just like this a little while ago http://wheatt.com/ , but nobody here seemed to care.

Although instead if emphasizing text search, which I didn't find that useful in the beta testing, we focues on combinations of tags, dates, domains, including terms like "today" and "month", but there is still full page text search, which can be used in combination with those other search terms.

Maybe its too complicated for most, but I find it useful and use it many, many times a day.

i'll give it a try, though let me give you an advice which reflect my problem with delicious.

I've used delicious, ever since it was a perl script running on a single server by Joshua. Days went by, delicious went through it revolution/evolution cycles and stationed where it is right now. However, as a facebook and twitter user, I want to have all my links and re-tweets save automatically in my bookmark service. That is, If I tweet about a fascinating page, I'd like to able to easily retrieve it 6 months later.

that is to say, auto-tweet is nice feature but I am looking for the vice versa (twitter, facebook, buzz, wherever I go and save/mark links).

Wish you good luck with your new service.

tried it out - strange results.

I "historified" this site - HN. Then searched for it in terms of "Hacker News" and got

Diigo (http://www.diigo.com), among other things supports saving page snaphosts and annotations.

I've been using Diigo for 8 months now and it's just great (I have used some other services like delicious previously, but they really can't compare to Diigo which just offers a lot more functionality).

1) it doesn't seem to be working, or at least your 'indexer' is so far behind that I can't tell if its working. At least change it so that when I search for '' I see the things that I added and are queued to be indexed.

2) That whole search for '' thing is pretty lame.. put a link to see 'all'

3) Good on you to make a chrome plugin, but I find it unintuitive. Clicking on it to bookmark, great, but how do I get to your domain which I always mistype? I think I'd rather have a very simple menu pop up (big icons?) when I click the plugin, one with '+' one with a magnifying glass for search. Something like that. The two most common things I'm going to use this for is adding and searching, you only make one of those easy with the extension.

Hope you can figure out the scaling issues, bummer to have it melt when you get press.

I like the idea and I was searching as simple as that since a long time. Here are some suggestions to improve it:

First, it didn't work for me.. I bookmark hacker news with the chrome extension and I still see the wheel turning.. and even if I search for all site I bookmarked, I don't see hacker news.

Second, is it really necessary to create an account and check with email, etc. maybe histio.us/d0m could create automatically an account where I can search and put a password if I want it secure.

Third, it could be useful if we can search with the chrome extension, instead of only being able to add bookmark.

Fourth, pretty cool and keep it up :)

Did you thought of a way to make money with that?
