Search results within the bookmarks manager omit what might be the most useful
piece of information: where the found bookmarks actually are in the bookmarks
hierarchy.
If I need to search in bookmarks, it probably means they are badly organized,
and having found what I'm looking for, I'd like to be able to move them.
Need one of:

- results list shows each item's location in the bookmark tree,
- items in the results list are draggable to the left-hand folder pane (the user
would need some sort of hint that this can be done)
- properties button not gryed out for results items, and property window to show
location in the bookmark tree

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open bookmarks manager
2. type something into the search box
