User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

Bookmarks Manager does not provide the links to the found bookmarks when you enter the search string into the Search: window. You can open a found bookmark, but you cannot access it within the Bookmarks.html file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the Bookamrks menu, select "Manage Bookmarks.."
2. In the "Search:" window, enter any string that exists in the bookmark name.
3.
Actual Results:  
The found bookmarks can be opened, but cannot be located within the bookmarks file.

Expected Results:  
The Search function should provide the capability to access any found bookmark. When a user has many bookmarks folders, the user cannot locate the found bookmarks.  When the user right-clicks amy found bookmark, there should be an item in the context menu, "Go to bookmark".  The Search funtion can easily save the line number where the bookmark was found."
