    enabled: true

    # Custom bookmark file path (optional)

Linux	`~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks`
Windows	`%LOCALAPPDATA%/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Bookmarks`

What Gets Indexed

For each bookmark:

Field	Value
`source`	`bookmarks_chrome`
`source_id`	Chrome bookmark ID
`entity_type`	`bookmark`
`title`	Bookmark title
`uri`	Bookmark URL
`tags`	`["bookmark", "chrome"]`
`metadata`	`{"folder": "folder/path"}`

Bookmark Content

Each bookmark creates a chunk containing:

{title}
{url}

Search Examples

# Find bookmarks by title
hoard search "wiki" --source bookmarks_chrome

# Find bookmarks containing URL
hoard search "github.com"

Multiple Profiles

For Chrome profiles other than Default:

bookmarks_chrome:
  enabled: true
  bookmark_path: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 1/Bookmarks

Sync Behavior

Bookmarks sync on each hoard sync
Deleted bookmarks are tombstoned
URL changes create new entities

Limitations

Title and URL only — No page content
Local profile — Chrome sync not accessed directly
Single profile — Configure multiple instances for multiple profiles
