Mac Tips Daily! #89 - Searching Safari Bookmarks

Submitted by jcost on Tue, 03/28/2006 - 08:51.

Your bookmark folder can become huge -- if you browse a lot of sites and add a bookmark to anything you would like to get back to. I have a few hundred bookmarks at least. Frequently I find myself not being able to find a particular bookmark, unless I use the search feature of Safari.

Here is how to do it:

First, open 'Safari'
Safari
Next, open the 'Bookmark Manager' - it's the icon on the bar that looks like a book.

Now, type in some text into the 'search' box.

You will quickly see results - and it will show the 'Name' of the bookmark, the 'Parent' directory (where it is in your hierarchy of bookmark folders) , and the actual 'Web Address'.

Now, just double click on the bookmark to go to the corresponding site.
