When you search in Bookmarks Manager and get results, it show only results,
without their position in bookmarks directory tree. Because of this behaviour,
you can't easily handle and maintain found bookmark items, because delete is
disabled in context menu, for example when you want to delete unused items. In
old bookmarks search in Mozilla it simply jumps to the found item, but in search
in Firebird, though it's visually nice and you can see multiple results in one
list, there's a flaw described as above. Its current design considers only
jumping to found URL and forgets other things.

One of solutions is, to add "Switch to tree view" in context menu of found items
to show position of each item in tree.
