Yeah, by tagging I mean adding it to a subject. I'm not sure what
terminology the English version uses. But when you add a bookmark, you
can attach multiple keywords to it, which will make it show up in
multiple places.
What I described above is that Epiphany supports completion on
keywords. So you enter a keyword (or a part of it) and it shows you
the matching bookmarks like with URL completion.

If you like using the mouse, you should really use the dedicated
bookmarks window. The search thing at the top is very neat. I enter
"ole" and it shows me "Ole's home". I enter "pers" and it shows me all
bookmarks that are attached to the keyword "personal".
Personally, I think the bookmarks menu (as opposed to the window) is a
mistake.
