User reviews

"Search by the name of the folder that it is contained in" — thank you..! I have literally hit uninstall 15+ times due to developers overlook said feature. However, as much I like this, there's already a deal-breaker in my first search. Issue: you can't search for terms preceded by dash characters. i.e. searching for "search" doesn't return bookmarks containing the string "my-search-term"

Very, very good and fast (!), show all searching bookmarks, but option hide/show web adress in right panel is very annoying. This option makes difficult searching list of bookmarks, because the items on the list constantly change position.
