Chrome – Search bookmarks in Google Chrome address bar

bookmarksgoogle-chrome

I simply want to search through the bookmarks in Google Chrome as I type in the address bar. I don't want to have to type the full URL just to hit a site already stored in my bookmarks.

Google Chrome doesn't seem to catch the bookmark entries and I usually have to type a full URL if I know it.

Is there any way to turn it on to search through the bookmarks or an extension that can do this?

Best Answer

No bloated extensions necessary. Simply add a new Search engine in Chrome options:

Chrome Settings > Basic > Search > Manage Search Engines

  • Search Engine Name: Chrome Bookmarks
  • Keyword: b
  • URL: chrome://bookmarks/?q=%s

That will allow you to easily search your bookmarks by simply pressing b then a SPACE or TAB.
