    Version 1.17.0

    Released Oct 30, 2025 - 216.92 KB
    Works with firefox 126.0 and later
    [v1.17.0]
    • NEW: Duplicate bookmark detection and indication
    • Detects bookmarks with identical URLs during data loading and marks them with a dupe flag
    • Visual indication in search results with a red badge on duplicate bookmarks
    • Console warning logs when duplicates are found, including the URL and affected folders
    • Helps users identify and clean up redundant bookmarks across different folders
    • NEW: Highlight bookmarks that are currently open
    • Bookmarks sharing a URL with an open tab are tagged during dataset preparation
    • Search results render a lilac T badge so it’s obvious when a bookmark is already open
    • IMPROVED: Prioritize already-open bookmarks in scoring
    • Added scoreBookmarkOpenTabBonus (defaults to +10) so matching bookmarks float above unopened ones
    • Bonus applies only to bookmarks with an active tab, keeping other result types unchanged
    • FIXED: Search score multiplier incorrectly handled zero scores
    • Fixed falsy coalescing bug where valid searchScore: 0 was treated as missing, incorrectly falling back to scoreTitleWeight
    • Now uses proper null check (!= null) to distinguish between 0 (valid) and undefined/null (missing)
    • FIXED: Vim navigation shortcuts no longer close the popup when overshooting the first or last result, preventing Chrome's default Ctrl+K / Ctrl+J actions from taking over.
    • CHANGED: More concise / simple last visited time
    • REMOVED: Date-added scoring bonus along with the scoreDateAddedBonusScoreMaximum / scoreDateAddedBonusScorePerDay options to keep ranking focused on usage signals.
    • The options had already been removed, this was a code leftover
    • DEV: Replaced the ESLint + Prettier toolchain with Biome (config, scripts, and editor defaults) for a single-source formatter and linter.

    Version 1.16.0

    Released Oct 23, 2025 - 212.75 KB
    Works with firefox 126.0 and later
    [v1.16.0]
    • IMPROVED: Search scoring precision and reliability
    • Higher bonuses for perfect matches: Exact matches on titles, tags, and folders now receive +20, +15, and +10 points respectively (previously +15, +10, +5), so precise results appear ahead of partial matches by default.
    • Better multi-term query handling: Search terms are normalized once and evaluated individually in a case-insensitive way, ensuring multi-word queries and mixed-case text reliably trigger the configured substring bonuses.
    • New phrase boost options: Added scoreExactPhraseTitleBonus (default: 8) and scoreExactPhraseUrlBonus (default: 4) to boost results where the full search phrase appears as substring. For example, searching "javascript tutorial" will boost a bookmark titled "Advanced JavaScript Tutorial Guide" (+8) or with URL "example.com/javascript-tutorial" (+4).
    • Capped substring bonuses: Introduced scoreExactIncludesMaxBonuses (default: 3) to prevent noisy documents from excessive stacking of includes bonuses.
    • IMPROVED: Further reduced initial load bundle size for faster startup.
    • FIXED: When editing a bookmark and saving, the search state was sometimes not properly updated. Now the search is completely reset, but remembers the search term.
    • FIXED: Search debounce logic was creating race-condition issues when pressing ENTER too quickly after typing the search string. Removed the debounce logic to fix this issue.

  • Version 1.15.0

    Released Oct 15, 2025 - 121.74 KB
    Works with firefox 126.0 and later
    [v1.15.0]
    • IMPROVED: Various performance improvements:
    • Creating a single minified production bundle, should speed up initial loading time a lot when IO is slow
    • lazy-loading the search highlight library, speeds up initial load further
    • More general caching of search results, now also for fuzzy search
    • Various smaller improvements that increase search and render performance
    • FIXED: Bug in scoring that lastVisited: 0 was not treated as most recent (max score)
    • FIXED: Bug in scoring where visitCount was not correctly merged in from history
    • IMPROVED: Improved unit-test coverage and switched for E2E testing to Playwright, leading to faster and less brittle tests.
    • CHANGED: Renamed some options, e.g. scoreBookmarkBaseScore to scoreBookmarkBase
    • REMOVED: Removed debug option, as debug logging will now always take place if console is loaded - and the performance.* logging has been removed to clean up the code.

  • Version 1.12.0

    Released Mar 30, 2025 - 92.01 KB
    Works with firefox 126.0 and later
    [v1.12.0]
    • CHANGED: History cache has been removed as it caused issues with local storage size on some browser and performance gains were not clear enough.
    • FIXED: Dark mode button hover text color contrast was bad
    • IMPROVED: Internal code cleanup which leads to less code to load (minimal performance improvement)
    • IMPROVED: Trying out a potential fix for #164 (Searching too quickly after opening leads to no results found)
