For many years I've been running WordPress locally. The search-engine 
yields relevant notes, even if it/they have not been filed under that 
heading (or 'tagged').


More recently I came across the Zettelkasten Method which, as its name 
implies, has a more teutonic approach to 'being organised'. Of course, 
these things are best approached with a flexible attitude, working-out 
what works for oneself and discarding the rest (without guilt).

Using their software and Markdown documents is a significantly 'lighter' 
approach to mine! Plus should give that multi-dimensional retrieval 
capability we both seek...
