At present if I want to go through a three level keyword search I have to go to
the manage bookmarks, select search, select keyword, enter keyword. The last
part three times. Now if I want to back up I would have to start over again.
This is definately ineffective, time consuming, and annoying.
Instead have a simple search text box in the bookmark sidebar that accepts full
or partial keywords are entered and the resulting list contracts or expands
accordingly.
Note the following keywords would be entered by the used when the bookmarks are
initially created.
So if I enter the keyword 'programs'
the listing would contract to list programs
Then if I entered the keyword 'java'
the listing would contract to only include java programs
then if I entered the keyword 'applet'
the listing would contract to only include java program applets
then if I removed the keyword 'programs'
the listing would adjust to list java programs.
This idea can be extended futher to adopt Google's method of modifiers, like
'URL:microsoft' Parsing of such commands would not be difficult.
Extending the above example, what would be listed are keywords 'java' 'programs'
from microsoft sites.
This idea can easily and effectively be implemented in the sidebar. And all
that has to be done is type 'URL:microsoft java programs' into a search box in
the bookmark sidebar.
Further expansion of the idea could include wildcards.
A method very similar is used in one program and I have easily managed 1000+
bookmarks and it takes between five and ten *seconds* to find or get a relative
listing of bookmarks.
> then if I removed the keyword 'programs'
> the listing would adjust to list java programs.
something tells me this isn't what you meant.
apple's osx 'mail.app' has simple search behavior akin to this, as does
bugzilla's front page ... cc random search people.

but mozilla's front page is not technically dynamic, it's a lookup script, same
generally idea but as I change the seach information the resulting search
changes accordingly - that is the dynamic part. Ideally, even a search button
would not be required, since entering information into the box would
automatically be interpeted as a search. A highly intuitive interface, but
sadly novices would not understand its function so a search button, or the
phrase, 'enter info to begin search' would be required.
As for Apple I am not familar with it so I cannot comment.
clarification...
> then if I removed the keyword 'programs'
> the listing would adjust to list java programs.
should read ... the listing would adjust [expand] to list java applets,
including the keywords 'java', 'applets', 'programs'
