I tend to store my AppleScripts as TEXT anyway. First it was MPW and now it's BBEdit worksheets. If you're using scripts for yourself only and not publishing them for use in other countries there is little to be gained by saving a compiled script. Saving as an APPL is another thing.

In BBEdit

osascript << ENDSCRIPT
tell application "somebody"
  do this or that
end tell
ENDSCRIPT

or in MPW

Begin
  Echo 'tell application "iCab"'
  Echo ' activate'
  Echo ' GetURL "https://www4.usbank.com/. ;. .CmdId=DisplayLoginPage"'
  Echo 'end tell'
End | RunApplescript >> Dev:Null

To execute either one just select it and poke enter.

They have all the benefits of a programmer's editor and would be indexed by Spotlight just fine.
