Indexing of bookmarks?

DEVONthink Feedback

As far as i can see it is not possible to index bookmarks. Wouldn’t it be nice?

I add a bookmark…DT is loading and showing me the site anyway…why not an option to index the bookmarked site so searching/finding the site is easier?

Thanks for the suggestion but indexing the Internet is not DEVONthink’s primary job :wink: One workaround is to store web archives, HTML pages or text notes instead of bookmarks or in addition to them.

Has anything changed in the last 7 years that would make this any more feasible?

Nope. Not really… a least not out of the box.

Another possible workaround is the following script which adds the text of the website to the comment:


tell application id "DNtp"
	set theSelection to the selection
	repeat with theRecord in theSelection
		if type of theRecord is bookmark then
			set theURL to URL of theRecord
			set theHTML to download markup from theURL
			set theText to get text of theHTML
			set comment of theRecord to theText
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
