## Operational notes
- The SQLite3 database file is stored in `$HOME/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db` (or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/buku/bookmarks.db`, if XDG_DATA_HOME is defined) for each user. Before version 1.9, buku stored database in `$HOME/.cache/buku/bookmarks.db`. If the file exists, buku automatically moves it to new location.
- The SQLite3 database file is stored in:
- **$XDG_DATA_HOME/buku/bookmarks.db**, if XDG_DATA_HOME is defined (first preference) or
- **$HOME/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db**, if HOME is defined (second preference) or
- the **current directory**, on Windows for example.
- Before version 1.9, `buku`stored its database in **$HOME/.cache/buku/bookmarks.db**. If the file exists, buku automatically moves it to new location.
- The database index for entries starts from 1. Index 0 is used for special operations like show or refresh or delete all bookmarks.
- It's advisable to copy URLs directly from the browser address bar, i.e., along with the leading `http://` or `https://` token. `buku` looks up title data (found within <title></title> tags of HTML) from the web ONLY for fully-formed HTTP(S) URLs.
- If the URL contains characters like `;`, `&` or brackets they may be interpreted specially by the shell. To avoid it, add the URL within single `'` or double `"` quotes.
