It suddenly struck me two days ago that, although I have never experienced this problem before (bookmarks search function not working), I have experienced other problems with bookmark functions during periods when I have had a lot of open tabs (I had 402 open tabs on August 28). In the past I would click on “Bookmark All Tabs” and save the tabs to a dated “Open Tabs” folder, and then close all the tabs. Doing that would resolve the bookmarking problems. I would then swear never to allow the accumulation of tabs to happen again, but after a few sessions of resolve, the whole process of accumulating open tabs would start over. I therefore thought that it would be worthwhile to try doing that again. The only problem was that the “Bookmark All Tabs” feature wasn’t working. I therefore started going through tabs one at a time, bookmarking each one that I wanted to save, and then closing the individual tabs. When I had gotten about 10% into the process (I think around 40 tabs closed), the search bookmarks function began to work again (although other bookmark-related problems persisted or appeared). It’s a big job, given my compulsivity, but my plan is to strip the tabs down to one and see what happens. I will post an update at that point. In the meantime, thanks to you both for your help so far.

Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt.
