Add support for saved tab groups and bookmarks #405

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. While I understand that there's no way to display the bookmarks bar on Bonjourr's new tab only (#265), I only use it to access my saved tab groups. There is currently no quick way to access saved tab groups while using Bonjourr. Even the browser's native interaction with opening saved tab groups from the bookmarks bar leaves much to be desired. It is designed for very few saved tab groups, but I have many – one for each of my tutoring students. There is also no way to sort groups alphabetically, nor is there a way to use the omnibox to search for saved tab groups by name.

Describe the solution you'd like I would love a search box specifically for looking up bookmarks and saved tab groups. I believe this would solve #265 as well. If a search string is found anywhere in the bookmark name, bookmark url, or saved tab group name, that bookmark should be returned as a match. I would not want names of tabs or urls within a saved tab group to return as search matches – only standalone bookmarks.

Describe alternatives you've considered Only other alternative I know of is to disable Bonjourr and accept the clunky native functionality.

Hi @dannypernik !

This is a lot to think about! I am currently learning how to use tab groups, to understand how we could integrate this feature. It could be added to the current "bookmarks import" window, or have a separate option.

As for the search box, I'm thinking of adding a bookmark search feature to the current search bar instead of adding a new one. I don't know how difficult that is though.

We have a lot already planned so this won't be ready anytime soon, but I'll definitely work on it at some point 👍

Understood! I believe tab groups are going to continue to grow in popularity now that they can be saved for later.

I'm all for adding bookmark/tab group search to the current search box! Hoping it's relatively straightforward. If you could add a keyboard shortcut to activate the search bar, well... 😍

Another obnoxious detail of Chrome's native functionality is that if you open a saved tab group from the new tab page, the new tab remains open. Sorry, always more to think about :)

Your last detail will be easy to implement, thanks for pointing that out !
