Install Bogrep from crates.io
# Build and install bogrep binary to ~/.cargo/bin
cargo install bogrep
To update bogrep to a new version, run cargo install bogrep
again. Versions
0.x will not be backwards compatible and breaking changes are expected. Remove
Bogrep's configuration directory (see Supported operating
systems) if you experience an issue when running
Bogrep.
Install Bogrep from github.com
git clone [email protected]:quambene/bogrep.git
cd bogrep
# Build and install bogrep binary to ~/.cargo/bin
cargo install --path .
Settings and cache are installed to the configuration path, after Bogrep has been run for the first time. The configuration path depends on your operating system (see Supported operating systems).
# Initialize bookmark sources
bogrep init
# Import bookmarks from selected sources
bogrep import
# Fetch and cache bookmarks
bogrep fetch
# Search your bookmarks in full-text search
bogrep <pattern>
To simulate the import of bookmarks, use bogrep import --dry-run
.
bogrep [OPTIONS] [PATTERN]
Options:
-v, --verbose...
-m, --mode <MODE> Search the cached bookmarks in HTML or plaintext format [possible values: html, text]
-i, --ignore-case Ignore case distinctions in patterns
-l, --files-with-matches Print only URLs of bookmarks with matched lines
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
# Check version
bogrep --version
# Print help
bogrep --help
# Print help for subcommands
bogrep config --help
bogrep import --help
bogrep fetch --help
Import of bookmarks is supported from the following browsers:
- Firefox (in
.json
and.jsonlz4
format) - Chromium (in
.json
format) - Chrome (in
.json
format) - Edge (in
.json
format) - Safari (in
.plist
format)
If bookmark files are not detected by bogrep import
, you can configure them
manually using:
bogrep config --source ~/path/to/bookmarks/file
Filter which bookmark folders are imported. Multiple folders are separated by whitespaces:
bogrep config --source "my/path/to/bookmarks_file.json" --folders dev science articles
Ignore specific urls. The content for these urls will not be fetched and cached.
It can be useful to ignore urls for video or music platforms which usually don't include relevant text to grep.
# Ignore one or more urls
bogrep config --ignore <url1> <url2> ...
Fetch the underlying urls of supported websites:
bogrep config --underlying <url1> <url2> ...
For example, if a specific url like
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=00000000
is bookmarked, the underlying
article will be fetched and cached.
Supported domains are:
- news.ycombinator.com
- reddit.com
Fetch difference between cached and fetched website for multiple urls, and display changes:
bogrep fetch --diff <url1> <url2> ...
If you need to add specific URLs to the search index, use the bogrep add
subcommand.
# Add URLs to search index
bogrep add <url1> <url2> ...
# Remove URLs from search index
bogrep remove <url1> <url2> ...
# Add URLs to search index and fetch content from URLs
bogrep fetch <url1> <url2> ...
Fetching of bookmarks from the same host is conservatively throttled, but can
also be configured in the settings.json
usually
placed at ~/.config/bogrep
in your home directory:
{
"cache_mode": "text",
"max_concurrent_requests": 100,
"request_timeout": 60000,
"request_throttling": 3000,
"max_idle_connections_per_host": 10,
"idle_connections_timeout": 5000
}
where request_throttling
is the waiting time between requests for the same
host in milliseconds.
Too speed up fetching, set max_concurrent_requests
to e.g. 1000. The maximum
number of available sockets depends on your operating system. Run ulimit -n
to
show the maximum number of open sockets allowed on your system.
For the available settings see https://docs.rs/bogrep/latest/bogrep/struct.Settings.html.
Bogrep assumes and creates a configuration path at
$HOME/.config/bogrep
for Linux,$HOME/Library/Application Support/bogrep
for macOS,C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming/bogrep
for Windows,
in your home directory for storing the settings.json
, bookmarks.json
, and
cache
folder.
You can configure the configuration path via the environment variable
BOGREP_HOME
.
If file permissions are missing for Bogrep, allow CLI applications to access the filesystem in the System Preferences.
The default bogrep search is case-sensitive. Try bogrep -i
for
case-insensitive search.
