Actually, anything have a source to browse killring.
I use it always, it's very nice.
However, you could reuse the code of bookmark-bmenu-search (see
bookmark.el) as interface for kill ring to mimic what anything does.
You will narrow down killring list when typing.

See also ioccur.el:

That use same technique.
