This sounds cool. So I could place a search bookmark next to the address
bar ala firefox?

But in this case you could simply remove the 'bookmark toolbar'
altogether correct? This makes sense to me anyway, since it's likely
that someone will flip it on and off repeatedly. They're more likely to
create it in the beginning or not create it at all.

Along these lines, if the bookmark patch goes upstream we should
probably include a toolbar dedicated to bookmarks so users understand
the functionality exists.

Regardless, you've piqued my curiosity as to how this works in your
patch as-is (bookmark toolbar removed), so why don't you send it over
that way :)
