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'

Very nice extension, yet It has a big flaw.

SEARCH IS LIMITED TO 10 RESULTS.

To bypass that limitation I reccomand - HIVE extension.
