270626 - search of bookmarks does not reveal the bookmark in the hierarchy

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196509

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jason Winshell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I search for a bookmark using the search widget a set of matching bookmarks
is shown in the main bookmark pane.  There is no UI that allows me to reveal
where a matched bookmark is in the bookmark hierarchy.  I cannot delete matched
bookmarks in the bookmark search results either.  The search filter seems to be
design finding bookmarks for the purpose of opening them.  How on earth to I
find a bookmark within the hierarchy itself.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. search for a bookmark (that gets 1 or more hits)
2. there is no way to determine where in the bookmark hierarchy (the pane at the
left) the matched bookmarks were found.  Arrghh
3.



Expected Results:  
When you select a bookmark in the search results it should synchronize the
bookmark hiearchy at the left to show where the bookmark actually resides.

Dup of bug 196509 and/or bug 171575, which both seem to be the same thing.
