# The difference between folders and tags
Conceptually, folders are containers for storing bookmarks, so if you think of folder names as labels to classify bookmarks, only one label can be associated with one bookmark. On the other hand, tags are conceptually attached to bookmarks, so if you think of tag names as labels to classify bookmarks, you can associate multiple labels with one bookmark.
# How it works
FakeTag achieves its bookmark-tagging functionality by utilizing folders provided by your browser. For example, suppose you tell FakeTag to bookmark the URL https://example.com/ and add two tags, "Foo" and "Bar". Then, a bookmark pointing to the URL https://example.com/ will be created in two folders, "Foo" and "Bar", one in each. And because FakeTag is designed to treat multiple bookmarks pointing to the same URL as one "composite bookmark", the two folders, "Foo" and "Bar", will look like "two tags attached to one bookmark" (see Chapter 1, "Overview" of the User Guide for screenshots and figures).
Using folders as tags as described above has the following advantages:
- After installing FakeTag, there is no need to create tags from scratch.
- Your browser will sync your tags for you (if auto-sync is enabled).
- No data will be lost even if you uninstall FakeTag.
# Main features
- Search for bookmarks by tags (from the address bar)
- Search for bookmarks by tags (from the dedicated bookmark manager)
- AND search (e.g., matches bookmarks that have both the tag "A" and the tag "B")
- OR search (e.g., matches bookmarks that have either the tag "A" or the tag "B")
- NOT search (e.g., matches bookmarks that have the tag "A" but not the tag "B")
- Bulk operation on search results (adding/removing tags, etc.)
- Add notes to bookmarks

- (2019-11-23) Henry DuQuesnay: As of TODAY: 2019.11.23: The software does the task I desire, (multiple folder link assignments through tagging) but without ease of use. Ability to quickly find and access folders needs improvement, especially for those large bookmark folder structure. 1. Collapsability would go a REALLY long way toward browsability. 2. Typed Search Feature : showing children subfolders of what is typed would go a long way to usability/browsability.
