I had the same problem for my bookmarks, but I (kinda) answered it using 2 ways:
Random link (when you don't know what to search but want to visit a (curated) cool link), and search (search in title, link, tags, description).
On the paper it works great, if only you can tags those links and write a comprehensive description using keywords you'll remember. But in real life, it's something like this: https://links.l3m.in/en/ and the search barely work (because no tags nor description is not helping).
Thanks! My main need is to recall all the relevant browsing information when needed. I have hundreds of tabs opened and thousands of bookmarks. Sometimes I vaguely remember visiting a site in the past but don't recall the exact website and it wasn't bookmarked. So I went full force with feature creep (why not) and put all the open tabs, bookmarks, and visit history on one page. Seeing the full list in front of me makes it easier to browse and search.
Edit: By request, here're the links to the extensions.
I do something similar with interactive fuzzy search (CLI), and the search experience is quite good for me, even with limited tagging. Links contain a lot a useful information...
Yeah, if the search is not about something too niche I can find results using the search feature of my share links instance.
Here's a recent example; I searched for "search engine", and found the article I wanted to share ("A look at search engines with their own indexes" by seirdy).

The project seems cool btw!
