Re: [Epiphany] More Topic/Keyword/Folder madness! Oh, no!



Where I think the keywords could go is not the user physically entering
keywords when they create a bookmark, but rather when "Add Bookmark" is
clicked, the browser automatically indexes the page, the same way a
search engine spider does it. Then generating the keywords itself, and
when you type the keyword into the location bar, it performs the same
duty a search engine does on your bookmarks and gives you the best
ranked ones.

This isn't IMO the correct way for keywords to be used. By using it this
way you have no difference over having a heirarchy of folders, but like
you have said this is not forced on you, you created these keywords
yourself, so if you have 100 keywords in only a few weeks, that's your
own fault. You could have stuck with 3 keywords.

And due to this "misuse" of keywords, you have lost the searchibilty.
Again, IMO, the correct way to search for bookmarks isn't "show me a
list of all my keywords", but is that you've set enough keywords one a
page so that whatever you type into the location bar brings up the
correct page.

In whatever course it was that I learned about search engines we were
always told type full sentences rather than specific 3 word search
queries. 

So, the more keywords you assign to a bookmark, the quicker you will
come across it when you search, using the location bar. The onus, at the
moment, is to add all the keywords yourself, but as I outlined at the
top, Epiphany could index the pages automatically and add all the
keywords you could think of to this page, which I think, would rule.
