251345 - Ability to search for multiple words and also in the description field

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83321

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Gabor Nagypal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Presently I am using a bookmark manager called Powermarks
(http://www.kaylon.com/power.html) which is absolutely the best way to manage
bookmarks I ever heard of. Interestingly it follows a quite similar principle
like Firefox in its bookmark sidebar: if you type some characters into the
bookmark search box, you get all of the matching bookmarks at once, real time.
What is missing from Firefox to make this feature much more useable:
1. The ability to write multiple space separated word chunks. E.g. if I have 100
web dictionary bookmarks (with "dictionary" in their title) typing in "dic" will
yield 100 result. I would like to further clarify the search by continuing to
specify e.g. the language. E.g. "dic eng" would yield all English dictionaries,
 it would match e.g. "LEO [Eng]lish-German [Dic]tionary" ([chunk] represents the
matching chunks)
2. An (at least in my opinion) logical consequence of this feature is that the
search should consider all of the bookmark fields, most specifically the
description field. E.g. for the bookmark "LEO English-German Dictionary" I would
like to write "Woerterbuch" (dictionary in German) in the description, and I
would like to find it when I write "woerter" in the search field. Presently you
have to change the title to achieve that effect, which is clearly not a solution
of you want to add 5-10 descriptory words. Idea: perhaps it should be
configurable, which bookmark field is used in the search, if some users find
that feature annoying.

Remark: I brought the powermarks example only because the mentioned features are
already implemented there, and all of the people I know are enthusiastic from
the idea it implements. Of course powermarks runs only under Windows, and its
Firefox integration is not comparable with the built-in bookmarks etc.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write word chunks to the bookmark search field
2. Get all bookmarks where some words in some bookmark metadata field match some
of the word chunks, and all of the word chunks are matched.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
