Index and search bookmarks from the command line.

Project description

Index and search browser bookmarks from the command line.

Currently only works with Firefox bookmarks.

Install

pip install marcus

(hint: use --user to install into ~/.local/bin/)

Then run marcus (or ~/.local/bin/marcus) with no arguments to get help.

Index your bookmarks

The first time you run this it will take a while, depending on how many bookmarks you have.

$ marcus --index
Start 2017-01-12 21:20

Automated indexing

Edit your user’s crontab with crontab -e and then add a line at the bottom like this:

17 * * * * $PATH-TO-BINARY/marcus --index >> $HOME/.marcus.log 2>&1

Which will run the indexer every hour at 17 minutes past the hour. Pages which have already been indexed will not be indexed again.

Patches welcome. Enjoy!
