  That would miss all the personalized content, all the content behind authorization and so on. At the very least, it would need to be able to get the content pushed to it by the client, the way the client has it at moment of bookmarking, making the download/scraping kindof superflous. Indexing and doing search, however, is hard, but solved. Hard in the sense that it is not something a firefox addon could do very well. I presume a (self)hosted meilisearch would suffice, though.

    You and GP might find ArchiveBox to have overlap with what you're describing? https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox Edit: here's the description from their repo "ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view sites you want to preserve offline. You can set it up as a command-line tool, web app, and desktop app (alpha), on Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can feed it URLs one at a time, or schedule regular imports from browser bookmarks or history, feeds like RSS, bookmark services like Pocket/Pinboard, and more. See input formats for a full list. It saves snapshots of the URLs you feed it in several formats: HTML, PDF, PNG screenshots, WARC, and more out-of-the-box, with a wide variety of content extracted and preserved automatically (article text, audio/video, git repos, etc.).
