Bookmarks are nothing more than a list of files. Why there's
no "Find"
feature in the browser is beyond me.
As a practical matter, I long ago created two files on my
desktop, where
they are easily accessible:
A complete copy of the bookmarks folder. This is searchable
using the
"find" feature. You must enable common tasks in
folder options for this
to work. I seldom find it necessary to use this feature
because I've
been bookmarking a long time and my folder names are well
chosen.
I can't tell you how many favorites folders I've seen that
are
completely undifferentiated, containing no folder names at
all. Same
with "My Docs".
Another folder, which I labeled "Daily", that
contains all the blogs and
pages that I tend to visit -you guessed it-daily.
