In bookmark library, make it possible to find a misplaced bookmark. The current library shows list of found bookmarks when doing a search. Clicking once on the found bookmark shows details at the bottom but does not show where the bookmark was found. I sometimes misplace a bookmark and have to search the entire bookmark library to find it.

The new feature would be:
When clicking on a found bookmark, change the focus in the left panel to show where that bookmark is located. It would then be easy to move the bookmark to it's proper location.

Earlier this year we added the option to right-click on the bookmark (when in search mode) and select "Show in folder", which will take you to the location where that bookmark exists.

Related idea:

"Make the Library default to All Bookmarks (instead of Other Bookmarks)

Make All Bookmarks actually show, well, all bookmarks! (instead of what it does now)"

@Standard8Thanks for responding, but "Show in folder" is of limited use, because is loses the search results.  It would be far more useful to include the path to the bookmark in the Bookmarks directory tree, either as an additional column or in the properties pane below the search results list.  This would also facilitate finding duplicate (or similar) bookmarks in different parts of the tree with a view toward rationalizing them.  You will find a number of posts requesting such features.

I support rsbrux's remark

I would expect a highlighting of the respective folder on the left side of the Bookmark Manager when clicking on a search result in the right window
