.TH "MARKIT" "1" "November 2015" "Version 1.2" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
markit \- Bookmark manager. Your private Google.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B markit
.RI [ OPTIONS ]
.I KEYWORDS...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B markit
is a command line tool to save and search bookmarks.
.PP
The SQLite3 database file is stored in $HOME/.cache/bookmarks.db for each user.
.SH OPERATIONAL NOTES
It's advisable to copy URLs directly from the browser address bar, i.e., along with the leading 'http://' or 'https://' token. markit looks up title data (found within <title></title> tags of HTML) from the web ONLY for fully-formed HTTP(S) URLs.
.PP
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 '"' qoutes.
.PP
The same URL cannot be added twice. You can update tags and re-fetch title data. You can also delete it and insert at the same index.
.PP
You can either add or update or delete record(s) in one instance. A combination of these operations is not supported in a single run.
.PP
Search works in mysterious ways:
  - Substrings match ('match' matches 'rematched') for URL, tags and title data.
  - All the keywords are treated together as a 'single' tag in the same order. Bookmarks with partial or complete tag matches are shown in results.
  - The same keywords are treated 'separately' as unique tokens. Hence, entries with matching URL or title data are also shown in the results. Order is irrelevant in this case.
  - Search results are indexed serially. The index is different from actual database index of a bookmark record. Use '-P' option to get DB index.
