Anybody have any views or tips on the best way of cataloguing and searching

I find myself wasting lots of time hunting for routines and script fragments
that I know are somewhere...
I thought about knocking up a script that will save every script as text and
then use DEVONthink (or similar) to catalogue all of the files.
But maybe I'm missing something that is easier?
Maybe you are missing something but to each his own. I've created a
script that can quickly transfer a script's code, and related info,
from Script Debugger to a FileMaker database. It can also transfer a
script from the database to Script Debugger. I won't claim to use it
on every script but it offers a decent, simple way to store/track
code, notes, version info, release notes, read me, script
dependencies, etc. When I work on complex scripts, I use it to store
multiple revisions instead of commenting code or making multiple
copies of the script file.
I should shine it up and release it but it seems there's never enough time.
