  • How to Search Google Chrome Bookmarks

    Like most people, I've been using Google Chrome since its release back in 2008. I'm also a big fan of saving sites and pages for later and putting them in a very complex folder system so I can easily find them. Well, that is until today...

    Today, I just realized you can easily find Chome bookmarks by just putting @bookmarks in the URL. From there, just keep typing to find the bookmarks you're looking for.

    For example, here's a screenshot where I wanted to search for Lenovo Legion bookmarks so I could get some details about the make/model. I simply entered: 

    @bookmarks lenovo le

    how to search google chome bookmarks

    And that's it. It's that simple... 

    Perhaps everyone already knows this little tip, but it's a huge time saver for me going forward!

    Hey cool tip. I don't use bookmarks in Chrome for this very reason. I can never find them. I'll give this a shot...

    Seems useful. Since I'm "all in" with Microsoft, I use Edge Beta. Most Chrome tips work with Edge since it's Chromium-based. Not this one though. At least not yet.

    99% sure this isn't in Microsoft Edge. I tried it there and, nada.

    Fun discovery....this also works with @history and @tabs, in Chrome, at least.

    That’s a great tip! I wasn’t aware of the @bookmarks feature in Google Chrome. It seems like a handy way to quickly search through my bookmarks, especially if I have a complex folder system. Thanks for sharing this with me. 😃
