How do I search for a folder I created in bookmarks?

I understand how to find what folder a bookmark is in but cannot find a method of searching for a folder I have created in bookmarks.

I was aware of the way to search for bookmarks by the two methods you describe i.e using either the library or the sidebar but once you start typing both methods only list the matching bookmarks and not the bookmark folders.
I am aware I can manually search for a folder by using the sidebar and library (I think you also refer to the library as the bookmarks manager) by opening up the hierarchial trees of the folders I have created. It can be a bit labourious when like me you have hundreds of bookmarks folders!
I've heard the orange firefox button being referred to before, if it's the firefox icon in the top left corner I do not get a file menu when clicking upon it?

  • How do I search for a Folder (name) inside a folder?

    I am using FF 3.6.3, I an attempting to use FF Search to locate a specific Folder, which I placed inside another Folder.
    In this case, I have a Folder entitled 'Health' (no quotes), I research, and have various health-issues placed inside this folder. I am attempting to place new bookmarks within the aforementioned folder, however I only receive the various prior bookmarks, and it seems that 'FF Search' is incapable at this time to inform me as to which folder my previous bookmarks with this particular (specific) Health Issue are located within.
    I would also like to take it out of that folder, and perhaps place it in General Bookmarks so that I will not lose track of it again.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You can install this add-on t0 add a column to the Library window ( Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks ) to indicate which Folders your search items are located:

    Once installed, in the Library window, click Views > Show Columns then click Parent Folder to show that column in the search results area.

  • How do I search for just a folder with Spotlight

    How do I search for a folder with Spotlight, not a file?  Spotlight is a great tool for finding a file, but often I just want to locat a folder.
    When I find a file, how to I see the path to this file?
    These are probably obvious question for longtime Mac users, but I come from the Windows world.

    Activate the Finder's window. Put the folder name in the search field in the Finder's toolbar. Enter COMMAND-F which should change the Finder's window and give a toolbar above the column headers:
    If you click on the dropdown menu with "Any" you will see this:
    Select the "Folder" entry.

  • How do I search for a bookmark folder by name in Safari?

    How do I search for a particular bookmark folder in Mac Safari 7.06?  Since there seems to be no automated way to sort the folders (as in other browsers), in a long list of folders, a particular one can be hard to spot.  Yes yes, very similar to a previous question of mine.  -jan

  • How do I use search/find to search for a folder name

    I can successfully use Spotlight and Search in Finder and Mail to find files and emails based on their titles and contents, but how to I use the search functions to find a FOLDER by its name, that I have somehere in my nests of folders - so I can then look inside that folder for what I am looking for.
    The search results never seem to show up any folder names?

    I do have several levels of nested email folders and several hundred folders created over the years. So I was hoping to be able to search for a folder's name, and be taken to it to see it and all of its contents.
    The best I seem to be able to do is search for a word that I hope I remember is in one of the emails in that folder, and then find that email in the search results list - but that list still doesn't tell me where the folder in the nested heirarchy that is my mailbox

  • How can I search for email senders and/or email subject(s)?

    I'm probably not savvy enough to figure this out. When I search, e.g. for "Katie" I get to look at several messages where she is cc'd. I also receive messages from "Katie." How do I search for them? I know they are there because I just sent one to trash the other day. I suspect there are a number of them in trash. The only way I seem to be able to access them is to scroll...and that's a bummer.

  • Searching for a folder in document library doesn't work properly if the folder is at the root level.

    Hi,
    I have a folder named FS0 on my sharepoint 2013 site. The folder is the first level folder under
    Default Document library (Shared Documents). When I search for FS0 on the sharepoint site, the search result give a link to home.aspx and not the folder. If I search for any folder that is a second level folder in the library, I get a search result that takes
    me inside the folder on clicking it. In my case, I search for a folder named FS1 which directly under FS0. The search result takes me inside FS1 in this case. How can I make the search result display proper links for root level folders also?<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks
    Pranava

    Hi Pranava,
    I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
    Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
    Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
    Thanks

  • How can you search for outlook email folders quickly?

    I am connected to my work outlook email system and within outlook I have circa 500+ folders. From the iPhone you can see all the folders in the email account but the list is (a). expanded {which makes the list huge} and (b). there appears to be no facility to search for a folder.
    Normally in other areas of the iphone OS, obviously you pull down (rather than pushing up) and you are shown the search box.
    This appears to have been missed in this area of the OS so all you have is your finger to scroll through the list - I am sure that I am not the only one who has found this problem as it is very difficult to use the iphone without a search facility or at least not expanding all the folders.
    It takes me 5-10 minutes to find a folder for example...

  • How do I search for all "missing" tracks within the iTunes database?

    I found the dreaded ! of death, and sadly I verified the tacks indeed are not on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to sort on this tag so that I can see what else might be missing on my hard drive but remains in the database (sort of similar to how you can search for all tracks that have missing artwork)? 

    Thanks.  It works perfectly.

    when in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

    If you mean searching for a song that you already have in your Library, then you can select "Music" first. Then, go across horizontally to Genres and select that; then by using the drop-down menu found under "View" & (of course) select "View Options"-- you will be presented with a limited # of choices to sort by.
    My iTunes 11.0.5 shows 4 parameters to choose from: Title, Artist, Year and Rating. Then you can sort & finally...
    Enjoy,
