Got bunch of bookmarks in Chrome? Never find the bookmark you're looking for?

As always, you find him from url bar. Just type * and press tab and you're ready to search!

Holmes also activates by keyboard shortcut! Press Alt+Shift+H and you're ready to go! You can always change the shortcut for your liking. Go to Chrome Menu > Tools > Extensions. Scroll down to bottom, press "Keyboard shortcuts" link and add custom shortcut to Holmes!

It's broken, what can be used as a replacement?

Tut genau was es soll! Vereinfacht den Zugriff auf Lesezeichen ungemein! Öffnen via Shortcut -> Teil des Lesezeichenamens als Suchparameter eingeben -> Ergebnisliste wird direkt angezeigt -> Selektion via Pfieltasten => Genau das, was ich gesucht habe!

Agreed! 10 entrees can easily be too restrictive. in any case I found a better app, no restrictions, and it highlights your search in the results making it easier to read and shows the URL! It is called 'Bookmark Express'

Very nice extension, yet It has a big flaw. SEARCH IS LIMITED TO 10 RESULTS. To bypass that limitation I reccomand - HIVE extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hive-bookmarks/mgpaacedpjkjfnmjhbfiolffpmpdebdo

Great extension! Any chance to get an option to change `*` prefix to something else, e.g. `b`? Thanks!

Simple, effective, fast. That's all I needed and that's what I got with Holmes. I have tons of bookmarks and started using tags in the titles in order to find them but the omnibox's instant search mixed in the results with history items and was not always clear which one was my bookmark. Then I started using Bookmark Manager, but there I couldn't figure out a good way to do the whole process without having to use the mouse because the focus would leave the search box and I either had to use the mouse, or press Tab a ton of times, to get it back. With Holmes I just set up a keyboard hotkey combination (I preferred a simple Alt+H) so when I press it then I type in a few characters of the bookmark's tag (title keyword) press Enter and I'm there. I love this simplicity! It's now added to my "must have" extensions because it does increase efficiency.

Not even close to being practical if your bookmarks are in the 10,000's

Отлично ищет закладки на любых языках в отличии от штатного поиска менеджера закладок.

Having a million bookmarks makes it hard to get what i needed fast, then Holmes came along and solved the case, the culprit was loading to the tab faster than ever :D

Extremely useful... one of the best extensions ever -- but why limit the results list to only 10 entries? For people like me with thousands of bookmarks (many with the same keyword in them) it would be an even better tool if the results were 20 entries... or 30... Why not include an option to choose how many entries to display on the settings? But even with only 10 results, it's still a great tool. Thanks!
