Search for bookmark FOLDERS by name

How do I search for folder names in Safari Bookmarks.? NOT the individual books marks.

I want to jump to an entire folder and scroll through it from there. By the FOLDER NAME. It's real easy in Chrome. But Chrome is crashing on me all of a sudden. I imported my bookmarks to Safari, but searching them is a pain. It's so very much easier to search by folder name. I have thousands of pages bookmarked over 15ish years of Chrome. Trying to remember individual pages bookmarked would be insane. I need to be able to search by folder name.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

Hello Gideon ,

This link tells you how to add a bookmark folder :

https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/add-a-bookmark-folder-in-safari-on-mac-ibrwd006449a/16.0/mac/11.0?

The webpages … in bookmarks hit edit , where it asks to " save to" choose the folder that you want to store it in .

I'm not trying to add a bookmark. I am trying to search for a specific bookmark folder through the side panel so I can find a bookmark that has already been saved. When i use the search field in the side panel for bookmarks it will only search by individual book marks. Not by folders. Chrome does this so easily. I wish Safari had this also. Simple but crucial time saver.

Ha. I wish. Unfortunately Chrome is crashing repeatedly on the computer I use for web browsing. Otherwise I never would have bothered with Safari. It's a 2014 MacBook pro...so I'm trying to hold out for BlackFriday before I consider buying a new computer. If someone can tell me how to magically fix this one search function in Safari, I might not buy a new computer until next year....
