Use Google to search your bookmarks with plugin from searchmybookmarks.com

Have you ever wished you could apply the power of Google's search algorithm to the bookmarks you have stored in Firefox? If you're okay with uploading your bookmarks to a relatively unknown site, you can do just that.

Searchmybookmarks.com has a Firefox extension you can install that will upload all of your bookmarks to their server. Then, when you visit the site, you have the option of searching just your bookmarks, searching your bookmarks and the rest of the web (but giving preference to results from your bookmarks), or just searching the web.

In my brief testing, the site is clearly still in beta, as some obvious search queries that should have returned many results from my bookmarks returned no results at all when searching only my bookmarks. Yet, if I chose to search both my bookmarks and the rest of the web, those same results I was expecting the first time around came out right on top of the result set.

If you were ever sure that you had something bookmarked, but couldn't remember where, searchmybookmarks.com might just be able to help you find it.
