Bookmarks by Keywords
The keywords in bookkey completely replace the usual
hierarchical folder structure that can not only be found in explorer-like
applications, but also in every menu structure that uses submenus, like the
bookmark menus in browsers. In bookkey there
is no hierarchy, just a plain list of keywords, like |
Cameras Computers
Magazines Shops
Weather |
|
|
This list of keywords of course
is controlled by you, the user. You may add, delete and rename
keywords. On import the folder names of the
hierarchical structure are used as keywords in bookkey, so you can start with
your existing collection of bookmarks. You are
free to assign any combination of these keywords to any bookmark. You may add
or de-assign keywords to/from bookmarks at any time. In the example from Home, shops that sell
computers get the keywords Computers and Shops, other shops may
get the keywords Cameras and Shops, the stores that sells both
get all three keywords. When accessing the
bookmarks, you choose one of the keywords from the list, for example
Computers, and get a list of your bookmarks with Computer
assigned to, separated into sections by the additional keywords. |

| Computing Tomorrow |
| + Shops |
| Buy Bits And Bytes |
| Computer Wonderland |
| + Shops + Cameras |
| All The Needful Things |
| Planet of Electronics |

There is no need to follow a
hierarchic sequence. You could as well have started with Shops, getting
a similar list of your bookmarks for shops. If
the list of bookmarks is too long after selecting one keyword you may narrow it
by selecting another one. |

| In this example the list of your bookmarks
for Computers is narrowed with the keyword Shops. bookkey still
lists shops that sell Computers and something else. |
| |
If at least one keyword is selected, the
list of available keywords is filtered to leave only those, that can further
narrow the list of bookmarks. In this example the
keyword Weather would be hidden after selecting Computers,
because there is no bookmark with keywords Computers and
Weather. |
