I've been doing exactly this for ten years, keeping the bookmarks file in Git. I added 70 bookmarks today, which is more than average. But rather than just a "title" I have whatever seems like I might want to search for later, including if the link rots. So it's more of a summmary. With hashtags. In Markdown (though without newlines). Each new day gets a header. Here's Sunday, with blank lines added to get reasonable…

I like your way , So I pick up my long time not used emacs. It's work fine.

Because it represents wasted time and cognitive load. It's a vestigial habit from an era when search was bad. Between (AI) search and browser history, I don't see much need for bookmarks.
> Because it represents wasted time and cognitive load. No, not really. Either you use them because they are presented to you, or you don't and you are oblivious to their existence. There is zero cognitive load. > It's a vestigial habit from an era when search was bad. Nonsense. It's absurd to even suggest that it's reasonable to use a search engine to be able to open sites that matter to you personally.
This works for me because I don't try to sync the file. I don't browse on my phone much because I hate typing on one, and I keep work and home separated.
Does anyone have a solution for full-text search of a folder of bookmarks? Specifically I want to search the sites themselves, not merely the text of the home pages (which is where the URLs point). The specific problem I’m trying to solve is searching for seeds. I have about 20 different seed vendors bookmarked I want to search across all of their seed catalogues at once (without having to visit each site to search o…

If you're searching for something it matters to you. So you don't use search engines, eh? You do you.
Yes, something I stumbled upon before and I bookmarked it because it matters to me. See how it works?

Do you actually know what a bookmark is?
I wish I could easily export my iPhone’s Safari “Reading List” even to something like this. I found a Shortcuts script that would do it but there are so many links I have saved that it freezes.
If you are motivated enough to write Apple Shortcuts a useful trick for ~Find type actions that overload is to Filter them into reassemblable pieces eg
action find items from reading list filter Title begins with A (then do B etc)
that this trick often works would be due to the internal nature of the Shortcuts implementation problems, so YMMV

You might be referring to the venerable wwwboard from Matt's Script Archive, which amazingly still exists: https://www.scriptarchive.com/wwwboard.html
It's been almost 30 years, so my memory is hazy, but that really looks like it. It still exists but last updated in 2000. It might be fun to make a Docker container with the right dependencies (if that's still possible) to run it.
