Your Own Personal Google

I know everyone’s probably sick of hearing about Cocoalicious at this point, but I’m so excited that I just couldn’t resist mentioning this: collaborator Andrew Wooster has the long-planned full text search feature working and checked into CVS. Now Cocoalicious can run through a collection of bookmarks, fetch the text of each page, and use it to create a SearchKit index. Using this index, users can search their bookmarks for words that don’t appear in the description, extended text, or tags (it even allows fancy boolean operators).

This was a really involved feature to implement, and the version in CVS still has some rough edges, but once they’re smoothed out I think full-text search will go a long way toward fulfilling my ambition to make Cocoalicious the greatest bookmarking app ever. Thanks to Andrew for all his hard work!
