Search your library

Run a search

Click the search field at the top of the sidebar and start typing. Results replace the middle column as you type — there is no Search button.

Results are grouped by what matched: bookmarks, then folders, then tags.

On a Mac you can jump straight to the field with ⌥⌘F, or Edit ▸ Find. That shortcut is customisable.

What gets searched

Type	Matched against
Bookmarks	Name, web address, notes
Folders	Name
Tags	Name

Bookmarks in Recently Deleted are excluded from results.

Results are grouped under Bookmarks, Folders, and Tags, each with a count. The middle column’s subtitle shows the total.

Matching is case-insensitive and ignores accents, and tolerates small typos — see How search ranks results.

Open a result

• A bookmark — click it. Its details open on the right. The search text stays in the field, so you can keep working through the results.
• A folder or a tag — click it. Linkgarden navigates to that folder or tag and clears the search.

Bookmark results show small coloured chips for the folder and tags each one belongs to. Clicking a chip navigates to that folder or tag, keeping the bookmark selected. If a bookmark has more chips than fit, a +N chip opens the full list.

Clear the search

• Press Esc while the field is focused.
• Click the × at the right of the field.
• Click a folder or tag result.

Note

On a Mac, clicking elsewhere in the window does not clear a search that has text in it — an in-progress query survives an incidental click. Use Escape or the × button.

Sort order does not apply

The list and grid views honour your chosen sort order. Search results do not — they are always ordered by how well each item matches.

The view mode (list or grid) does carry over: bookmark results are drawn as rows or as cards to match whichever you are using.
