When making a new bookmark, there is the ability to choose a folder in which to put the bookmark. Usually it also shows the last 5 folders which were used. Is it possible to have a search box in this dialogue, so that I can search the bookmark folders which I have, and once it shows up in the options, I can store the bookmark in that folder. This would save me from having to open the full bookmark folders list and then scrolling down to the appropriate folder - which are not alphabetically arranged and less used folders might not be easy to find. Any add-on helps in doing this ?

This is how I imagine it might be. (see attached image) Say I have not sorted my folders and I want to put the current link in "Folder S" which is somewhere down the scroll list. If there is a folder search bar, I could start typing folder S and the results shown in the folder list, would only show matching folders. Then I could save the link in that folder, without scrolling down the whole list and trying to find the folder.

You can click the second arrow that shows at the far right side on the Folder line to open the tree list of all bookmarks folders.
