Summary

A hack lens for unity that searches my Firefox bookmarks.

I built this using quickly. It directly accesses the places.sqlite file in the default Firefox profile.

I know there is already a bookmarks-lens but it doesn't produce the results in an order that suited me and it was written in C. So, I hacked this simple one. I imagined I'd need a cache or some other fanciness to make it responsive but this simple minded approach seems adequate so far.

Installation

sudo quickly install ought to work but doesn't for me. I ended up doing

sudo python setup.py install

Logging out and back in seemed to be the most reliable method of making sure it runs correctly.

License

Feel free to use this for any purpose.
