72974 - [RFE] Bookmark search feature to list all bookmarks with keywords

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

I'd like a bookmark search that would let me see all of the bookmarks for
which I've defined a keyword.  This would be doable with a regular
expression search on bookmarks (bug 69759), but it would be nice to be
able to do it without regular expressions (and for non-techie users to
be able to do it as well).

you're right that supporting regexp would solve this easily. But without doing that wouldn't it
be exactly equavalent to just sort the bookmarks by custom keyword in the Manage Bookmarks
window?

If there was some way to get all of the bookmarks displayed and sorted on
one level, I guess this would work,as I have bookmarks with keywords
scattered through a bunch of different folders and subfolders; but there
doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

with the risk of sounding stupid now:

Can't you search for, say ":" in the URL field (should hopefully return all of
them...), and then just sort the output by Custom Keyword? 

I just tried it out (Moz0.9), and it seems to work fine for me, with just a few
keywords defined here and there -- even though I cannot verify I really got all
bookmarks by the ":"-search (seems plausible, though)...

do a sort by keyword (show the keyword column)

mass-verifying WontFix bugs which haven't changed since 2001-12-31.

use the search string "BoletusEdulis" if you want to filter out this msg.
