As many of these updates seem to, this one started with a bug report from my friend Jay Miller, which caused me to run the test suite on SearchLink and discover a few things had broken since I last looked at it. So you get an update.
Aside from fixing bugs that had cropped up, I spent some time on the various browser searching tools. SearchLink can scan your browser bookmarks and browsing history to find the most relevant link for a search term. It works with Arc, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. And it’s pretty cool for grabbing links to things you’ve already visited or bookmarked.
Now these tools also work with profiles in most browsers, scanning all available profiles for matches. You can’t currently specify a single profile, but if a bookmark or history item exists in any of your profiles, it will be found.
I also overhauled the Arc support, as the bookmark file format has changed since I first implemented it, diverging from standard Chromium fare. Should work fine now.
Not a major update, but it’s worth mentioning. If you write Markdown and haven’t tried SearchLink, I highly recommend taking a look!
