## Description

Bookmark Search Plus 2 is a powerful Firefox extension designed for users with extensive bookmark collections. It allows you to search both bookmarks and folders using advanced filters and regular expressions, helping you to find the exact location of any bookmark within the folder tree. The extension displays the full parent folder hierarchy, automatically expands folders along the path for easy navigation, and restores the original folder state after closing search.

Featuring a sidebar interface reminiscent of Firefox's native bookmark sidebar, Bookmark Search Plus 2 supports drag-and-drop organization, search scoping, and includes a bookmark history window for real-time monitoring of bookmark actions. It respects browser settings, ensures bookmark safety by not modifying bookmarks by default, and fetches favicons locally to protect user privacy. This extension is ideal for managing extensive bookmark libraries efficiently and safely.
