How can I search my bookmark tags for a phrase, to find all tags that contain that phrase?
I have plenty of tags on bookmarks. If I can't remember my tag's name, but remember that it's about "cooking" how do I search for tag names with that word?
The search bar on the upper right of bookmarks gives all urls with the word. I want to search my list of tags itself.
Also I'd like to do the same with keywords.
When searching history, I'd like a more sophisticated search that lets me pick the time range, and tags.
Also when viewing site history, I can see them by last date viewed. I'd like to view by date first viewed. (Last modifed isn't it)
Thanks!

Unless that phrase it part of the link or description . . . . . Try just one word first, then add to it one letter at a time.
The History sidebar only has limited choices for sorting. You can make more columns visible in the History Manager (Views > Columns) and click the column header to sort by this column.

It finds me all the urls with "cooking" in it. I want all the tags with "cooking" in it, and just a list of the tag names posted somewhere, so I can glance through them for which one I will then go to my bookmarks for...
I'd love to be able to see a list of just my tags and bookmark folder names in a window, then search through THAT list for the tag names.
Doesn't anyone else need something similar?

When I open the history manager (by clicking "show all history") the list of column options has "last viewed" but not "first viewed." Am I missing something?
The column of "added" is available but it's blank for urls so not useful that way.
There must be an addon for the kinds of things I'm trying to do...

Thanks cor-el! I don't think it will allow me to search tags (based on the description), but it does solve another problem. ...when I know what day I assessed a url, but because I looked again some later day, it's not longer there.
I'll have to search for a tag search add-on.
You can make that Tags column visible in the Bookmarks Manager (Library). You need an extension to add the Keyword columns because that column got removed a few versions ago.
