Google Chrome Search Importer

luke — Sat, 10/11/2008 - 00:13

Its a pain to use Google Chrome without access to delicious.com quicksearches, so here is an app that can read bookmarks exported from delicious and import them into Chrome. Download it at: http://lukehunter.net/software/ChromeSearchImporter.zip

1) Export bookmarks from Delicious:
Log in to the delicious website and go to settings, then select Export / Backup Bookmarks.
Make sure "include my tags" and "include my notes" are checked.

2) Run Chrome Search Importer
It will attempt to locate your Chrome Web Data file, but you may browse for it if you wish.
Load the delicious bookmark backup using the lower "..." button.
Make sure Chrome is closed.
Click Import.
It will take 15-20 seconds to import your data, be patient. You will be notified when the import is complete.

If you have problems, check the error.log file in the same folder as Chrome Search Importer.exe. Leave a comment if you need help.

Update: Delicious changed their backup bookmark format, Chrome Search Importer can now read the new format.
