 Comment about "Editing Bookmarks": "When the user visits a page that exists within their bookmarks, the Tag button lights up and can be clicked to edit metadata." An option to put metadata editing as a permanently open tool in the sidebar could change the way we are using bookmarks because we could for the first time "add" to any website personal context that is available parallel to the website. This is actually an old idea and linked to Berners-Lee's ideas of a semantic web. This "sidebar tool" could also be useful to display other information about the website such as white or black listed, blocked cookies, etc.
+I think advanced search boxes should be shown by default in the Places popup. If someone is going to open an entirely new window just to search, surely they want to do something advanced. It also allows your first search query to be a useful one if you want. Right now you're forced to first search for nothing, just to get to the advanced options, the click the plus button to have them show. The easiest way to do it would be to just never show the rather useless "Showing <blank>" box, and turn on search options there permanently. Simple searches should be relegated to the Location bar (results shown in autocomplete), because that's the simple way to search. --[[User:wjjohnst|wjjohnst]]
