Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I don't bookmark, but I do have ArchiveBox set up to automatically archive almost every page I visit.
Do archivebox allow you to full-text search through archived contents ?
I've mostly replaced bookmarking with wallabag, mostly because of the full-text index, but I've been eyeing archivebox for a while because it handles more types of stuff
I don't think it indexes the text content, but you could certainly set something up with an external application that indexes the archived pages and lets you search them. Did a quick search, and in one GitHub issue someone is talking about setting up Sonic Search for that purpose: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/956#issuecomment-1320587158
EDIT: It seems Sonic is actually a search system developed specifically for ArchiveBox full text search. I'm gonna try it out too.
*EDIT: Works great
