Bookmark search should hide folders without matches

[samcv]

When searching for bookmarks, QupZilla should hide folders for which there are no matches and/or have a view which shows the results without respect to folders.

I have enough folders that they take up one and a half screens vertically, so when I do a search, I may have results and not know it and will have to scroll past all folders which have no results.

If the folders which had no results were hidden during search, then it would be easy to see the results.

As to me, this is a quite complicated question and it requires a deeper consideration. I, for example, haven't yet met a decent solution for searching the bookmarks and folders and giving the results for both (with suitable options) in Firefox or any other browser... Could you give any example of a good implementation of this feature?

Currently it hides individual bookmarks which do not match the query, but it never hides any of the folders. I have lots of folders, so effectively it makes the bookmark search very poor.

A simple improvement would be to hide the folders if there are no results to the query inside the folder (like how bookmarks themselves get hidden).

Eventually something different may be implemented, but this would actually make the search usable for me. Right now i enter a search term and i just see a list of folders, and the actual result may need to be scrolled down several pages. If the folders were hidden if there were no results, I would always get results displayed (or nothing displayed if there are no results).
