Search is working (for past and present bookmarks in diigo)

Turns out that diigo was in the process of updating hardware.

Took 3 days to get a response from support. It showed up at the same time functionality was restored.

I am very surprised that this was not mentioned by Diigo. Especially since they could have placed a public annotated bookmark on their search page indicating the issue was only temporary.

Also, don’t expect to get your converted bookmarks back any time soon. I’ve been waiting for a week. That’s OK though, because the converting tool is only alpha, and currently each conversion process apparently requires diigo “hands on” intervention.

I still think this is the answer for users leaving Google notebook.

I have uncovered a current problem where diigo bookmarks are saved but bookmarks are not returned in diigo search queries.

Bottom line: Search results dont’ show everything they should. Diigo replied to my email indicating they are looking into the problem.

If you’re a user of google bookmarks, you probably rely on it’s search function to help you find that “needle in a haystack.”

I have a private bookmark that shows up in diigo bookmarks, but can not be found via any search within diigo.

I originally created this bookmark it in diigo while attempting to learn how the service works. This bookmark won’t show up under a tag search, or even a search of the bookmark name itself. I spent a day trying to find out what I was doing wrong.

Bottom line: It’s not me. It is a glitch.

I sincerely doubt that I am alone with this problem. The thing is, that unless you are specifically looking for an item you know is there…. You will never know what is missing from a search.

If you go to the diigo user forum and search for my name (Robert Tupper) you can find more info there.

Until this is corrected, I don’t dare use diigo as a replacement for Google Notebooks. This is unfortunate because…

Aside from this issue, diigo appears to be the best replacement I have found.
