One of the frustrating things about IE is figuring how how
to search my IE favorites for key words when I lose track
of a specific URL.

How do I do that?
 
That would be good enhancement in future windows.
You have that many favorites????
Might be 3rd party plug-in to do this...i'll be watching
thread in case.

Try grouping similar favorites in folders in the
listing. Use Favorites/Organize feature to do this.

Try open search window and set find for keywords in
favorites directory.

Got my favorites in a Links toolbar & extends across
screen. Other toolbars are compressed into one toolbar
and both take up about 1/2 inch total top of window. 16
Links with 10-15 sites/folders/items in each link.
 
Hi Patrick - Well, two solutions, both free:

First, Quick Favorites Search, here: http://chris.id.au/qfs/default.htm
and then Favorites Search, here: http://www.dzsoft.com/

I use both of them and they both work well. Favorites Search is an IE
toolbar which opens a frame in your browser, while QFS opens a separte
window, but offers more versatile search parameters and is faster. Both
Recommended.

And a third, but not free, solution is PowerMarks, here:
http://www.kaylon.com/power.html This is a BHO which is very much more
powerful and with considerable additional capabilities. Also
Recommended.
