I still bookmark websites. Just in the standard browser, not in Pocket, etc.

I found searching for and finding bookmarks a pain, so made a Chrome extension to natural language search with lunr.js. It works nicely and I open-sourced it.

Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bookmark-search/fcj...

Code: https://github.com/jamesrr39/chrome-bookmark-search

Do you know if it works in FF?

Most likely not in it's current state as it uses the `chrome.bookmarks.getTree()` API.

However the Chrome-specific stuff is in this file: https://github.com/jamesrr39/chrome-bookmark-search/blob/mas... , and creating an equivalent for this should be enough to support firefox.

I am open to pull requests!
