Description

[Seth Sweep]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

Performing a search on bookmarks will return many duplicate results if the name of a bookmark is in the format <name>* (e.g. "firefox*").  This consistently occurs if the bookmark is renamed to include the star/astrisk character.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a bookmark to "bugzilla.mozilla.org"  The name will be "mozilla.org Bugzilla"
2. Rename the bookmark to "mozilla*" (or any name ending in '*')
2. Search in bookmarks for "moz"
3. 25 results are returned, twenty-four for "mozilla.org Bugzilla" (which should no longer be a bookmark) and one for "mozilla*"
