Imma going bonkers. The Problem is that I assumed that when I click ‘bookmark this page’ - that is what happens. But, I can’t find ANY of the pages I bookmarked - it’s like they just poofed into thin air. When I click to save one, it says ‘bookmark added’ on a blue bar at the bottom of the screen - but where did it go?? If I go to a page that I previously bookmarked, the message in the 3dot gives me the option to ‘remove bookmark’ - huh? When I click, it reverts to ‘bookmark this page’ - where is the location of the magic list that has my bookmarked pages?

The star menu at the very bottom of the screen under the |||\ menu - has the star highlighted blue. In the |||\ menu my most recent bookmarks under ‘Recent Bookmarks’ are visible. But, once there are 20, the last one falls off. Which is the The Problem - where are the ones that fall off the list? If I click on ‘mobile bookmarks’ the problem is the same, a finite number with the last one falling off list. ‘Unsorted Bookmarks’ and ‘Bookmarks Menu’ are both empty. The ‘Bookmarks Toolbar’ only has the ones I imported from Chrome - nothing is ever added (but, somehow they became alphabetized which is really not helpful.) I have an iPad Pro 3rd generation that I’ve used for basic tasks for about a year. But now, having it as my only way to get work done (my laptop died and won’t come home for 4 weeks, total trauma) has been a huge challenge, but I’ve been muddling through. I know it is *not* the same as a laptop and is not meant to function as such. Is there a solution to fine bookmarks?

I used my laptop to find a bookmark that wasn't in my iPad list. I typed the name in the iPad search field and up popped the link. If you remember part of the title or URL, it should show up as you type.
