Steps to reproduce:

This is bug 1100673, to me, a serious a bug I found back in November 2014.  

The engineer who first picked it up confirmed it as a real bug and sent it forward.  Since then - nothing.  This is a feature for searching bookmarks THAT WORKED for years until Rel 33.  It should be easy to fix.  So...?


Actual results:

When I click/highlight a personal bookmark folder, say "Travel", then do a search for (example), "New York", the search engine finds EVERY occurrence of "New York" in the ENTIRE bookmark library, regardless of folder.


Expected results:

It should have ONLY searched the "Travel" folder.

This is a big problem for those doing any kind of research or documentation. What should have been only a few bookmarks out of one folder, becomes a literally unmanageable HUNDREDS of bookmarks that have to be visually scanned in hopes of finding the right one or two.
