In 1999 I started developing my own Desktop Search Engine.
The only problem I had when changing computers was my favourites.
I made a small change to the program to allow me to archive them
just like I do Video, Music, Pics and text.
When archiving pictures it takes 2 lines of text. The first line had
the
search information and the 2nd line had the path to the picture. So
instead of loading the picture. If I found HTTP on the 2nd line I put
the URL as the default in an input box. I copy and paste this into the
browser.
I can move my favourites to any computer anytime without disturbing
the existing ones. Currently I have my "internet news", "TrapLine"
and "other forum" postings archived. Random or Sequential access.
