BobJam, if you find one, let me know. I have the same problem with over 1000 entries. Sometimes it takes me forever to find something because I do not remember the subject under which I have originally stored the bookmark.

Geek,

AFAIK, Windows XP HE (which I use) does NOT have the capability that Vista has for Favorite searches.

whs,

I did indeed find a Favorites Search utility, and it's called "DzSoft Favorites Search" and can be found at http://www.dzsoft.com/favorites-search.html. It's FREE, which makes it all the more satisfying. It installs as an IE7 add-on, and can be accessed through View>Explorer Bar. It's pretty slick.

I've only had it for a day, but it does in fact do what it's advertised to do. You can see my review on CNET at http://www.download.com/DzSoft.....=10651457. It's the one dated 16 July 2008, and I forgot to leave a screen name on it.

I did find "Compass", but it has some bad reviews, plus it's a paid version now (was FREE when I had it). If I'm going to pay for something, I want it to be flawless. I'm a little more tolerant when it comes to FREE stuff. By the way, I haven't found any flaws in DzSoft Favorites Search yet.

Thanks... I'll have to write something about that, I bet a lot of people have the same problem.

That neat little utility ("DzSoft Favorites Search") I've been using . . . and it's been over a week now and still no glitches, no system slow down, etc. . . produces hits based on any word you can remember that's in either what you've named it or the URL.

For example, a lot of us don't remember Gibson Research Corporation (GRC), but rather Steve Gibson. A search on either "Steve" or "Gibson" comes up with the GRC URL. Slick . . .

And the free antivirus tool by McAfee named "STINGER" is another bookmark that I have. I've never used it myself, but have had times when I've wanted to give friends the URL (which is a lot more than just "Stinger"). But a search with DzSoft Favorites Search on just "Stinger" produces the URL. Cool . . .
