Bug 128004

Version:           3.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Sorting and categorization of bookmarks in konqueror (and other browsers) is still a mess:

Once you put your bookmark to a specified folder hierarchy, you cannot find it when you search for it. Or a bookmark does fit into several categories and you have either to place it in multiple folders or again you probably won't find it.

Probable solution:

A solution could be a search mechanism based on self-defined keywords for categorization. If you store bookmark you should be able to input new keywords or select from existing keywords to categorize that page. The bookmark menu should give the possibility to search for keywords and dynamically show only folders with bookmarks containing the given keywords. This is like e.g. some blogs use categorization (I think with only one keyword but I'm not sure).

Example for understanding:

I have several pages containing computer stuff. Some of them contain information about linux.

I now have found a new page which I would categorize in "computer", "linux" and something about the specific contents of that page, e.g. "CD", "DVD", "burning" or "shell", "programming".

If I now search in the bookmark menu for "programming" and "shell" all folders and bookmarks without these keywords should be suppressed in the menu to quickly find the desired bookmark.

Another possible implementation could be a dynamic "search for bookmark with keywords" function which creates a dynamic menu with all available keywords. If you choose a keyword it creates a submenu containg all keywords except the selected one and all bookmarks covering the selected keywords so far. But I think this dynamic menu would be difficult to implement because you have to avoid (endless) recursions (e.g. computer->linux->computer). :-|

I think keywords would be nice for finding bookmarks but don't mix up keywords with shortcuts here like mentioned in #78450.
