Why? This had been said before by more knowledgeable people, so I'll keep it brief. A search can be succint and generic at the same time. Documents have many aspects, few of which a user will remember at any given time. Search allows taking just one of these and jumping straight to it. I often find myself checking multiple folders in my bookmarks because the first folder I checked, which applied to one aspect of the page, is not where I put it.

When a page is bookmarked, it's text should be scanned, common words and characters (the, a, comma, period) removed, and the text saved (space delimiters for words?) in the SQLite .db file. This should be carried on in the background, or perhaps simply a progress bar in the statusbar, and not stop the UI usage flow.
The search mechanism scans the text index of a page mentioned in the Add section and finds matches and close matches to the search query. Results are ordered bby how close they match the query, or by how recently they were bookmarked.
