And please include a field or property that shows where a bookmark is in the bookmark folder tree. This is needed when your re-grouping bookmarks. Currently, if you search on a bookmark and find a few related ones, there's no way to tell where they are on the bookmark tree and if they need to be moved/re-grouped to a more rational structure. | And please include a field or property that shows where a bookmark is in the bookmark folder tree.

In addition, please have a look at the bookmark manager | |||
of the old Netscape Communicator 4.78. In contrast to Firefox, | |||
the old bookmark editor of Netscape Communicator is very fast | |||
and convenient. Moving and copying bookmarks between | |||
(sub)folders is much faster than with Firefox and Mozilla, | |||
in particular, on Sun Solaris. Please learn from the old editors! | |||
In particular, I have hundreds of folders and subfolders | |||
with thousands of bookmarks. And the function | |||
"Find in Bookmarks" of Netscape Communicator | |||
allows to search for text in bookmarks as well as | |||
in folder/subfolder titles and to jump from one | |||
search hit to the next search hit within the tree. | |||
Example: Using the search string "Java", it is very useful | |||
to find all subfolders titled "Java applications/programming/etc." | |||
contained in diverse folders named "applications" and "programming". | |||
To sum up, make the folder titles and bookmarks | |||
searchable at the same time! The resulting list | |||
should return folders and bookmarks that contain the | |||
search string anywhere in their title/name/location/description/tags. | |||
Alternatively, the user should be able to jump from | |||
one hit to the next hit in the bookmark tree | |||
as it is implemented in the Netscape Communicator. | |||
If some user does not want to find folder titles, | |||
then the user should be able to turn this off. | |||
But I prefer to find not only bookmarks, but also | |||
folders containing my text in the title. | |||
