I still miss Powermarks (EOL-ed some time ago). Anyone looking to improve bookmarking owes it to themselves to look into it.
Amongst other things, it would grab a default set of tags from the page's meta-content. (Of course, this was back before there was so much gaming of same.) And tags were defined as a whitespace-separated list, which made manual tagging very easy and quick. Search was also a whitespace-separated list, with limited wildcarding. With several thousand bookmarks, it typically took me 1-3 seconds to drill down to the one I wanted. And it took only a few seconds to define a new bookmark with a sufficient set of tags that I'd be able to quickly find it again with an appropriate intersection (or, more likely, one of several possible intersections, depending upon what I remembered of it at the time of recall).
Of course, these days what with disappearing content and the like, one may be better off relying more on local, offline caching/storing of static content, รก la Scrapbook, for example.
