There appear to be several enhancement suggestions in this report. I am not very confident in my understanding of them.
Alan, Could you help us clear this up?
I understand that there are several issues when setting the star (*) character at the beginning of a bookmark's name and also when setting the star (*) character at the end of a bookmark's name. Could you please explain which exact behavior you consider to be faulty?
I would like to explain a feature: If a user types the star character and a space character in the address bar ("* "), he will force the browser to search through the bookmarks only. This means that typing a star character and a space character will cause the address bar to show ALL your bookmarks as suggestions. If then, he also adds another star character ("*"), after the newly displayed "Bookmarks x", the address bar will suggest all bookmarks that contain the star (*) character.
In your described case, typing the star character, then space, and then ybs ("* ybs") will cause the browser to search for all bookmarks that contain the string "ybs". By this logic, you should have a bookmark with the name "Welcome to Yorkshire Building Society | YBS -- ybs.co.uk". (no star character in the name) **Can you make sure that you don't have a bookmark of the same website, but saved without the star character?**
Regarding case 2, what bookmark name would you be searching with the keyword "4 * 4" or "4 4 *"? Thanks!
