If there is a firefox version, one just needs to sync the same set of bookmarks with the keywords to use the bookmark keywords from chrome Make the same extension on firefox then this will be the first extension that I know of that can support bookmark keywords on both browsers.

If only Google would sort out the bookmark feature so that it could include (and sync) keywords (including %s) then all would be perfect in the Chrome world.

Some bug reports for you (no idea where else to do this): - the extension API limitation for google search results showing up first is something you should definitely try to work out with the Chrome development team, as it greatly impedes the extension's user experience (slows it down and the weird flash of content = bad) whilst the extension itself adds a lot of power user value (arguably a key target audience for Chrome). - the extension doesn't support spaces or anything, which devalues it greatly (e.g. make a Google Maps keyword 'maps' and then try entering 'maps 10 market st, san francisco' — it becomes a GMaps search for "10") - there is no (or not always any) feedback when you Save a keyword-bookmark from the page action, which has caused me to hit the Save button multiple times only to find out I had multiple bookmarks. - …which highlighted another bug: it doesn't check for existing keywords, allowing multiple bookmarks with the same keyword. Lastly, if you DO get to talk with the Chrome Dev team, perhaps bring up merging this feature into Chrome itself so that the bookmark manager has it built-in? (or allow your extension to be plugged into the bookmark manager) Anyhoo, again: love this extension, it made me switch full-time to Chrome. :-) Faruk Hey,

- the extension API limitation for google search results showing up first is something you should definitely try to work out with the Chrome development team, as it greatly impedes the extension’s user experience (slows it down and the weird flash of content = bad) whilst the extension itself adds a lot of power user value (arguably a key target audience for Chrome).

- the extension doesn’t support spaces or anything, which devalues it greatly (e.g. make a Google Maps keyword ‘maps’ and then try entering ‘maps 10 market st, san francisco’ — it becomes a GMaps search for “10″)

- there is no (or not always any) feedback when you Save a keyword-bookmark from the page action, which has caused me to hit the Save button multiple times only to find out I had multiple bookmarks.

- …which highlighted another bug: it doesn’t check for existing keywords, allowing multiple bookmarks with the same keyword.

Lastly, if you DO get to talk with the Chrome Dev team, perhaps bring up merging this feature into Chrome itself so that the bookmark manager has it built-in? (or allow your extension to be plugged into the bookmark manager)

Well that's pretty awesome I must say - just made Chrome that little bit closer to being my 100% browser... My only niggle - when i run one of the keyword bookmarked things, it first loads the google results for what i've searched for, then about 2 seconds later will load my bookmark - i.e. keyword of "seb" will first take me to google's results for "seb", then take me to wherever my "seb" bookmark is supposed to go... Aside from that, good work! :) Seb Hey!
