Any way to tag and search bookmarks in Safari???
I just imported my bookmarks from Firefox. I lost all my tags and smart folders. Is there any way to tag or search my bookmarks?

You can enter "descriptions" for bookmarks. These are similar to tags and may be searched in the Bookmarks Sidebar. Here's how to do it:

That doesn't work. First, there's side-scrolling as it opens the sidebar. Second, I don't see any search bookmarks bar. Third, while the main search/url bar lists a few results, it doesn't give me any way to tag or sort or work with the results. Fourth, I want to organize bookmarks. Not alphabetize them.
Click the Sidebar icon top left side of the Safari toolbar.
Just under where you see this:
Just type your bookmark search keywords in the search field.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to tag Safari bookmarks but you can create a bookmark folder from the Bookmarks menu then add bookmarks to that folder then drag that folder to the Desktop. The Finder with automatically alphabetize the bookmarks, then drag that folder back to Safari.
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
I'd say doh if it weren't for the poor UX. Clicking there + Ctrl-F is not implemented, and the combination of automatic scrolling past the search box on each open with the automatic hiding of scrollbars is... well, think unfortunate.
You can also click Edit at the bottom left, which will load a page with a Search box at the bottom right.
yeah that is one broken interface. 😟 View Bookmarks comes up with the search box hidden! To make it show I had to to use a two finger drag down and then could see it. Oi vey Apple!
