steps:
1. bookmarks>show all bookmarks
2. search for 'apple' (if you don't have an interesting set of bookmarks, might i suggest mine?)
3. the search results should be nice and show me how quicksearch matched my item
4. if a given field matches the search, colorize it
5. and if the piece of the result isn't normally viewed, change the view to show not the first bit, but center around the result
Summary: search results should visibly show the matches pieces → search results should visibly show the matched strings
There are lots of examples on the platform of list filters, and none of them do this; there isn't enough added utility here to warrant the visual noise it would create. 5 would be especially disruptive as it would cause very non-standard behavior for the truncated items.
