Show Folders as a possible search result in Bookmark Search

I like to structure my bookmarks in folders. I would like the folders to be included into the "Search bookmarks" results. The reason for that: Often I know the name of the folder that I saved a bookmark in but not the name of the bookmark itself. A quick way to search and then navigate to the folder would be super nice.

Use case: Imagine this scenario. I have a bookmark named "Upgrade to Windows 95" in a folder named "New Stuff". I can't remember the exact name that I used to save the bookmark, but I know that I saved it in the folder "New Stuff". So I type "New St". The Search results show me the folder alongside other bookmarks that contain "New St". After clicking on the folder I jump to the folder and see all the bookmarks. Maybe a "sub-search" in the folder could happen, but this is optional. Jumping to the folder would be a huge time saver and I think a lot of users would like this simple addition.

Thank you for your great work! Best, ocupe

Hi, as of this time Folders are not included.

A quick way to navigate is to turn on the Menu Bar by mousing to the top of the browser to a empty spot and Right Click and turn on the Menu Bar.

From there you can Show all Bookmarks. As well there is a search function there.
