They must have been changed it again. Try to search with the + sign in the URL bar, for instance + book.
PS. For me it works as usual.

This works but doesnt solve the problem. I dont want to add a plus to find my bookmarks each time I search. Why is the browser working this way?
Perhaps the problem is that the tag text you're searching for isn't very unique? If your tag text doesn't appear in page titles or URLs, you definitely should get them (example screenshot attached).
my tags uniqueness shouldn't determine whether or not it shows in the search bar. inevitably there will be crossover between my browser history and my tags. for example, i have 11 bookmarks for "school" yet when I input the tag in the browser, only one shows up (unless I use the "+" command stated in the previous reply)
Check if Bookmarks are selected in Options -> Privacy&Security -> Address bar.

The reason I mentioned uniqueness is that the results are ranked by a weighted computation based on frequency and recency of visits to the site, so if you have visited other pages with school in the title or URL, then those might be ranked higher than the tagged bookmarked URLs. If you want to see more matches, you can increase the length of the list this way:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste URLB and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults preference to display an editing field, change the value from 10 to 15 and then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change. You can test immediately by typing into the address bar. Do you get more of your tagged results?
