Circa 2000. A commercial product named PowerMarks. Cross-browser. One click bookmarking. Default indexing based on words pulled from title, some meta tags, whatever -- that the user could augment/change on the fly. Terms listed space-separated, making doing so very easy and quick. Rapid, incremental pattern-matching search against the index. A list of matches would shrink as you continued to type in your search term. Again, space-separated, making this very quick to type. Basically, if you remembered a few relevant things/terms about the page, you were probably going to find it within a couple of seconds. With the automated, default pretty-good indexing, you didn't have to spend time manually entering tags/terms. You didn't have to think and then manually sort bookmarks into folders. PowerMarks "just worked". Unfortunately, it was shareware, and it eventually went the way of a lot of such products. Add to this the continued changes of browsers that made keeping the cross-browser functionality and the application's independence (of itself, a major plus, in my book) an increasing struggle. Sigh. I still miss it.
