This and numerous other bugs could be fixed by replacing Search with 4.x-style Find.

DUP of bug 56418 ?

@Rainer: I don't think it's a DUP, you cannot search for bookmark folders (this bug) AND you cannot as well see where the bookmark you're looking for is (#56418).

Will there ever be fix in the works for either: 1) finding folder names as well as bookmark names in a search, or 2) going to the parent folder of a found bookmark?

Parent folder can be found using 'locate in bookmark folders' extension which is posibly why this is not a *major* problem for many people. Nevertheless it would be real nice to have a proper implementation. But the inability to do finds on text in folder names is killing me! Why do I bother with useful folder names if I can't find them ? Please prioritise this !

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1 I have a folder tech in my bookmarks with a bookmark for ars technica. When I search for tech only ars technica is returned.

Firefox also lacks this feature, so I filed a bug: Bug 459570

The Firefox bug is bug 406157
