I just picked up Raindrop last week, and honestly, I assumed this functionality was present already. I went and tagged all my bookmarks, just to be greeted by a big "Unsorted" category. I don't want to sort my bookmarks into static places, I want to tag them and then query for what I want because it makes sense for bookmarks to be in multiple places.

Any chance of this making it on the roadmap in 2023?

I'm sorry, but for how long will you maintain this "Under Review"? You have more than 1.1K likes....

Omg yes please. Folders existing as dynamic collections of tags would literally make Raindrop the best product on the market imo

I think "smart" collection and "virtual" collection are two different concepts.
"Smart collection" would be a collection that has rules pertaining to which bookmarks would be added to it automatically. User would specify which conditions would trigger a bookmark being added to this collection. A given bookmark would only be added to one smart collection, similar to current collection functionality. "Link automation rules" would apply here. This feature would enable less manual user intervention in categorizing/tagging their bookmarks.
"Virtual collection" would effectively be like a saved search or a database view/select query. A given bookmark could be found in multiple virtual collections depending on the search conditions specified by user. This feature would enable users to quickly pull up a list of bookmarks meeting certain criteria without having to manually search, they would simply click on a user-named virtual collection on the side bar.

I would still love for this be a feature. I have been using tags to search for certain links but it's getting harder the more tags I have.

Since the last update is over 6 mo ago, I'm guessing that's a "no"
Sadness, will probably keep me from going pro

Any updates on this one? I keep finding myself reaching to save a search and realising I can't do that in Raindrop.
It seems particularly bizarre that this is not implemented, given that the app is pushing to the browser history API, so the search parameters appear in the URL bar when you change them. Raindrop saves URLs as a primary function - which means most of the functionality is already there.
The irony is that you can then save that URL to Raindrop - but it doesn't extract any metadata when saving (the title is always "Raindrop.io — All in One Bookmark Manager", for example).
A workaround is to have a 'collection' of searches using saved URLs, but it's a bit of an ugly and manual process because you have to edit the item metadata yourself (and those links must live in a collection, rather than in the sidebar).
Pretty please, Rustem Mussabekov?

Bookmark adding rules to save links based on regex or domain patterns in specific collections would be a nice to have, preferably with some sort of "globbing" of domains. For instance, twitter links from @ShitpostBot5000 ["https://twitter.com/ShitpostBot5000/*"] would only get put in a Twitter/Comedy collection, rather than a "one rule catches all" approach where all twitter links end up having to go in one place. It'd be a similar feature to one found in https://copiedapp.com/ that would work well in Raindrop.io.

That's nice. And boolean functionality as in "Tag X + Tag Y + NOT Tag Z"
