Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Bookmark database

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

I'm not clear on what you are really getting at but I do know that there 
are a lot of annoyances with bookmarks.  Netscape had started down a 
great path and Mozilla has not even gotten back to that point.

There are a couple firefox extensions that synch bookmarks to server.

Are you looking at implementing search on a website as well as in the 
fat client (browser) or just one or the other?
