Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 56418

I want to locate a bookmark to I can rearrange my bookmarks.
So I do a search, e.g., for 'toyota'.  I get a nice list.  I can click
on this list.  But where are these bookmarks in my bookmarks list?
If I make the search window blank, I lose them!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type a term into the Bookmark Manager search window
2. a list of bookmarks appears
3. there is no way to find out where these bookmarks are
in my bookmarks!

Actual Results:  
After that I'm frustrated ...  I abandon the search!

Expected Results:  
There should be some way to see which these were.  A cool way
would be to have a colored or highlight line on each line of my bookmarks
that represents the location of every bookmark that contains the term.
This line would work even when the folder is closed.  So you could
see that the folder contained the term, and open it up.  Then you would
see the bookmark OR you would see that it is yet deeper since a folder
is highlight.

The highlighting would STAY ON as long as the search term is in the search window!


Notice that the display for the bookmarks WOULD NOT CHANGE as one does
searches.  The only thing that would change would be the highlighting.
As one opened and closed folders, the highlighting would adjust itself
accordingly.
