Also, I think it makes sense to integrate this UI with bookmark manager. My roommate recently had the same inability to find the manage search keywords UI. I've pointed it out to him before, but it's hard enough to find that he has to ask me every time. In his case, he was looking in the bookmark manager for it. Which, fwiw, is where I would look as well. Doesn't need to be a tight integration. Just a link from the bookmark manager would be sufficient.
