Anyone know of a free bookmarking service that

and/or

2) allows searching against all text on bookmarked pages

?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm certain that Diigo saves a cached version of the page. Mister-Wong also saves a thumbnail sized cached version of the page.

Regarding searching the contents, Diigo is the only service that I know of where you can search through the cached page contents. Here's an explanation of how diigo cached pages work source is diigo site.

Note that the free Diigo service DOES allow page caching. The feature is NOT limited to premium accounts.

UPDATE Per comments below, Diigo version 5.0 release now limits page cache to premium accounts. Diigo 4.0 allowed a fixed number (20? 50?) bookmarks with page cache per month for non-premium users.

I'd also mention that Google bookmarks save a cached version of a page.

Take a look at Pinboard.
From their "About Us" page:

We also offer archival accounts, at a cost of $25/year. An archival account will store a complete cached copy of every bookmark you save, and enable full-text search for your account. (The one-time signup fee counts towards your first year's subscription.)

Yeah, I know it's not free, but it might be a better solution than a free one.

Yahoo bookmarks says it saves a cached version of the page, but I'm not positive whether you can search through its contents or not.

Consider using "Google Custom Search" it allows you to create a custom search engines that searches only a specific set of sites.

Theres a complementarity tool "Google Marker" which is basically a bookmarklet that let you add specific sites to one of you custom search engines.

This way you have most capabilities of a bookmarking system, with the ability to perform search on the content of the sites.

I use historio.us to keep track of sites and save their content (text only) to aid me to find them again among my bookmarks. With the free plan you can "historify" 300 sites and search their content in a Google like interface.
