Creating a keyword for a search makes a bookmark in the bookmark root folder. The bookmark just leads to errors when clicked by attempting to search for %s.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
If I go to the website: http://www.pdb.org and create a keyword for the search box (right-click in search box, and select 'create keyword for this search'), then a bookmark is created in the bookmark root folder. This bookmark directs me to an error page with it's %s nonsense (http://www.pdb.org/pdb/search/navbarsearch.do?newSearch=yes&isAuthorSearch=no&radioset=All&inputQuickSearch=%s). Such bookmarks (created only for keyword purposes) should be hidden entirely or at least automatically put in a tidy folder. No point in them if clicking directs me to an error page...
Actual Results:  
Errors from webpages because of attempts to search for %s

Expected Results:  
Bookmarks should either take me to the homepage, like a normal bookmark or be tidied away since they aren't usable.

"Take me to the homepage" would be bug 298697.  I like the idea of having them automatically tidied away somewhere, though.

yes, it's a pity we create a dummy bookmark to manage the keyword, confirming for brainstorming
