I'm trying to figure out which folder I put a bookmark in --

1. Visit the bookmarked URL.
This assumes I know it. What if I'm browsing and think, "I remember
I bookmarked that video of Lee Hi singing '1.2.3.4,' where could
it be?" If I don't know the URL, I can't visit it, and if I can't
find the bookmark -- well after all, that's the purpose of a
bookmark, eh?
The goalposts seem to be moving in this thread, and I'm not sure
what you want now.
In your original post, you said, "I've got dozens of bookmark
folders, and I can definitely find the bookmark using the search tool
at Manage Bookmarks, but when it returns a hit, there's no
information about folder location, just the bookmark itself." Chris,
indeed assuming that you could find the bookmark by searching, as you
said you definitely could, gave good instructions for finding out
what folder it's in.
Under normal circumstances, I pull down the bookmarks list in the
browser window, and I think, "Lee Hi's vid is probably in the K-Pop
folder," and sure enough it is, so I just mouse down and over and click
it: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AI7UP1iRAU>. End of story.
But sometimes I can't remember which folder I put something in, so I
fumble around, and eventually I have to resort to the Manage Bookmarks
search feature. Having searched it, I learn that "somewhere in your list
of bookmarks is this one." But it doesn't say where. So I can visit the
bookmark, and then use the Edit Bookmark feature Chris described to move
it to a more memorable folder. It's a tolerable workaround, but a
workaround nonetheless.
As I and others have pointed out in this thread, it would be desirable
to be able to locate and move a searched/found bookmark directly in the
Bookmarks Manager, and this has been discussed under two separate bugs
over and over for 12 years.
