Ask HN: Why did Google remove serach in Chrome bookmarks
2 points by ano88888 on June 26, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I bookmark a lot of sites in chrome into various folders. Previously, there is a search box that i can search my bookmarks. The search is not good (ironically), but at least there is a search box. Now i found out they have completely removed the search box making it unsusable. Who is the genius from chrome team who decided to do this? do you even use bookmark function at all? it is frustrating.



Ux analysis of usage strikes again - only 2% of our users use bookmark search let's get rid of it yayy, not realizing hardly anyone uses the fuctionality cause it sucks.


chrome://bookmarks is showing a search bar for me as usual. This is on 114.0.5735.133 (Linux), 114.0.5735.131 (Android) and 115.0.5790.40 (Windows).


thank you


Because Google wants you to use Google search.
