   Bookmark problem

   I have noticed something with bookmarks in both versions of Netscape   
   (4.7 and 7.1) that I use.  When bookmarking a web page from a search   
   page, the address saved is some horribly long address with the search   
   string tacked on.  To clean this up, I have to edit the properties and   
   change the path to the direct path obtained from going back   
   to the search page, cutting and pasting the direct address.  Also, the   
   name of the web   
   site bookmarked sometimes comes out ok, but usually it is bookmarked as   
   "Netscape   
   Search" which requires another cut and paste to restore the web page   
   title.   
      
   My question is whether there is a better way to save the more accurate   
   site name and   
   address with less intervening steps?  I only want to bookmark sites   
   after actually viewing them, so I am forced to follow the route I'm   
   currently taking.
