Smart collection/saved search
under review
Rustem Mussabekov
Like "Smart playlists" in iTunes. You create conditions (topic, title/description/text contains string, multiple tags, type, date..etc...) and all bookmarks automatically puts to specified collection.
Think of it as "saved search"

Will this ever occur? More than ten years have passed since the thread began, and over nine years since it was labeled a planned feature, so what is causing the delay? I do not mean to be impolite; we appreciated Raindrop, and I have been a Pro user for over three years, yet I urgently need this capability. I am resisting a move to add a bookmark manager because, as noted, I truly value Raindrop, so please deploy the feature. Many comments suggest it could be readily built with URI, so I expect the work would be minimal.

This would be incredibly useful. Like Rustem Mussabekov mentioned, I’m imagining something similar to Smart Folders in Finder and Apple Notes, and Smart Lists in Reminders.
You’d create a collection by defining rules, and Raindrop would automatically show any bookmarks that match them.
Ideally supporting complex Boolean logic across all operators.
+--------+----------------------+------------------+
| Symbol | Operator | Common |
+--------+----------------------+------------------+
| ¬ | Negation | NOT |
| ∧ | Conjunction | AND |
| ∨ | Inclusive Disjunction| OR |
| → | Material Implication | IF...THEN |
| ↔ | Material Equivalence | IF AND ONLY IF |
+--------+----------------------+------------------+
And ideally supporting the ability to group them so we can also handle NAND and NOR logic also.

I'd really love to see this. Ideally just autoplacing/searching content into collections based on their tags. In addition to reducing a data point when saving articles, this would also allow for having an article in more than one collection.

This would be SO helpful

Bumping this. It's a must.

That would be great! The Obsidian Web Clipper extension allow you to define rules to apply a specific template. It's a good example.

I would love "saved searches". For example, "-#nsfw" and then I could link directly to that.

true and linkflare looks good! But not true mobile functionality yet. You can put a PWA on your phone but no share sheet action which is a must… I hope they add that and then I would truly consider migrating from raindrop

Merged in a post:
Virtual search folder

Jean-Marco
It would be very useful to be able to create virtual search folders, much like those found in email clients like Outlook. The idea would be to be able to define criteria (keywords, tags, date added, domain, etc.), and for the folder to automatically show all the corresponding favorites, without having to classify them manually. For example: a virtual 'Read Later' folder could contain all favorites tagged 'read' or added in the last 7 days. This would allow for a dynamic organization, adapted to everyone's needs. Of course you can already do a multi-criteria search, but you do not have the possibility to save it as a “virtual folder”.

It would also be nice if you could share this saved search

You can sort of get the same result by using Raindrop.io on the web, preparing a query and bookmarking the resulting page. But I can't do that in the Windows app. So being able to refer to "saved" queries in the sidebar would be immensely useful. I don't even need for it to have a bookmark counter for it to be useful to me.
