Tut genau was es soll! Vereinfacht den Zugriff auf Lesezeichen ungemein! Öffnen via Shortcut -> Teil des Lesezeichenamens als Suchparameter eingeben -> Ergebnisliste wird direkt angezeigt -> Selektion via Pfieltasten => Genau das, was ich gesucht habe!

Agreed! 10 entrees can easily be too restrictive. in any case I found a better app, no restrictions, and it highlights your search in the results making it easier to read and shows the URL! It is called 'Bookmark Express'
