  1. First, I love this site and the idea in general! Chrome is much faster than FF and others. Bundles is a great feature, but I have a question: Why do only 3 tabs at most open in bundles? I've tried lots of things and confirmed my sites involved are accurate.

  3. Having a mobile site would facilitate adding bookmarks - especially mobile specific bookmarks to Shortmarks.

  4. I understand in the privacy page you indicate that nothing is logged but still the thought that anything I type into the address bar goes through your server regardless of whether I am in incognito mode / private mode or normal - essentially giving you the same power Google has over me.

    Which begs the question, how do you intend to support the service on the long run? I would assume after more users start flocking over you would need more power to maintain Shortmarks. This is of course negligible if you are extremely generous.

    Again thank you for sharing…

    Offering a hosted version sounds like the best way to go on this. Marking this as completed since there’s already a hosted version item.

  5. It would be cool if you'd allow access via HTTPS. Don't like to share my search queries in plain text over the internet :P

    Doesn't even need to be a valid certificate. A self signed one is fine once added to the whitelist.

  6. I guess you need to correct the instructions for firefox browser to omit the %s in the keyword.url setting. Find keyword.url and set the value to http://shortmarks.com/s.php?h=vs72C7Z&q= instead of Find keyword.url and set the value to http://shortmarks.com/s.php?h=vs72C7Z&q=%s

  7. When visiting a site while shortmarks is the default search engine, typing the keyword and hitting enter doesn't have the expected action

  8. using this code as an alternative search engine in chrome the user can type for example: "magickeyword noi", instead of clicking bookmarklet and typing "noi" in the prompt.
    You could even make it recognize the other keywords server-side and redirect the user, that way it could be the default search engine and no keyword would be necessary.

    javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='http://shortmarks.com/s.php?sbl='+encodeURIComponent("%s");})();

  9. The instructions for making shortmarks your default search in IE are for IE 8. IE 9 has a new process, which seems to only let you install search engines from the IE Add-ons Gallery. Shortmarks is not currently listed, so I can't find any way to get Shortmarks as my default in IE 9.

  10. I normally use the HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox to keep my Google searches and other browsing habits from going over the wire plaintext, but Chrome doesn't yet have this feature. Instead, I've turned to shortmarks to alleviate that, except I realized that all of my quick searches were going over plaintext.

    It would be awesome to see SSL support, providing exactly the same services as you currently do. I'd like to access the management page and search functionality through it.

    I'd be willing to donate to the cause, so let me know. Besides that, shortmarks is awesome! Thanks.

  11. While I can sign in just fine with Firefox and Opera (Android), when I click "sign in" through Chrome, I just get a blank page. This appears to a brand new problem that's developed. Help?

    Thanks!

  13. Just signed up, set up some shortmarks, now suddenly all my shortmarks are gone.

    I didn't have many, so I'm happy to start over, but how might I do that?

  16. If I try to run a bookmarklet with a parameter or query string it doesn't work. Let's suppose I made the following bookmark:

    javascript:alert('%s');

    and name it alert.

    If I type alert in the address bar it works ok, but If I type alert foobar it doesn't work, but other bookmarks with query strings work ok. I hope I made sense...

  19. I just created a shortmark account. I see that somehow a bunch of shortmarks were presented. I guess that is just some defaults that you add when a new account is created? If so, that seems ok because then I can delete them myself.

    But I tried the "gr" shortmark that goes to Google Reader. Shortmarks did the right thing and went to the Google Reader site, but Google has discontinued the Google Reader service. So I suggest removing the "gr" shortmark from the default list added to new user accounts.

    BTW, I'm quite glad I found your site as…

  20. Separate namespace from normal keywords (bundles to be prefixed by @) and available for direct links as well as searches.
