Backdrop
All use cases

Full-Text Search

Find anything you ever saved.

Search the contents of every page you've archived.

Bookmarks are a graveyard of forgotten pages. Backdrop indexes every word of every page you archive — so you can find a source by what it said, not just what you named it. No more digging through browser history or trying to remember where you saw something.

Full-content indexing

Every word of every archived page is indexed. Search finds content, not just titles.

Readable text extraction

Clean text is extracted from every page, making search results accurate and fast.

Search across collections

Search your entire archive or scope to a specific collection or project.

Instant results

Search returns results across thousands of archived pages in milliseconds.

Searchable annotations

Your notes and annotations are included in search results alongside page content.

Entity-aware search

Tag people, organizations, and concepts. Search by entity across your entire archive.

How it works

1

Archive everything worth keeping

The more you archive, the more valuable full-text search becomes.

2

Add annotations when relevant

Notes are searchable too. They help surface context when you can't remember exact phrasing.

3

Search when you need it

Type any word, phrase, name, or concept. Backdrop searches your entire archive.

4

Open the original or the archive

Jump to the original source or browse the archived version directly from search results.

“I saved something about a specific API error three years ago. I couldn't remember the source, the title, or where I saw it. I searched the error message on Backdrop and found it in two seconds.”
