Search Saved Bookmark Details With Explicit Limits

Use search when the path is unknown or when you want bookmarks about a topic, domain, project, tag, or phrase. Search returns IDs first so the next command can fetch details.

Command

Run A Targeted Search

webcull bookmarks search --query 'title:"pricing" AND acme' --limit 10 --fields id,parent_id,title,url,modified

{
  "success": "true",
  "items": [
    {
      "id": 2302,
      "parent_id": 2301,
      "title": "Acme pricing",
      "url": "https://acme.example/pricing",
      "modified": "2026-06-14 12:34:00"
    }
  ],
  "returned": 1,
  "page": 1
}

Syntax

Use Terms, Filters, And Grouping Carefully

webcull bookmarks search --query 'github api'
webcull bookmarks search --query 'title:"github" AND notes:api'
webcull bookmarks search --query '(title:"github" OR url:"github.com") AND notes:api'
webcull bookmarks search --query 'type:folder title:"project"'

E2EE accounts

Plaintext accounts can search from WebCull. Encrypted accounts search decrypted bookmark text locally when needed. Use tight --limit, --max-scan-rows, and --page-size values.
