I started a research project several weeks ago, bookmarking a handful of useful pages, which I carefully saved (i.e., hid) in a bookmarks sub-folder.
Now that I have time to continue my research, I could not easily locate these hidden bookmarks in my vast Personal Bookmarks list. With a little digging, I found them:
- Open the Personal Bookmarks window.
- Use the search box at the bottom of the list to find one of the "lost" bookmarks.
- In Finder, open OmniWeb's folder of bookmark files (and other stuff): ~/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb 5/
- Double-click the Bookmarks.html or Favorites.html file to open it in OmniWeb.
- Search the flat list of bookmarks for a key word or phrase.
- When a desired bookmark is located, scan the preceding lines for bookmark folder names (larger bold unlinked lines).
- Return to the Personal Bookmarks window and locate the desired folder.
- Optional: add the BookMarks.html & Favorites.html files to the Favorites bar for easier access the next time.
