Did you consider a /totally opposite/ approach? I'm currently
reorganizing my org files (I had about 15 of them) so that I will be
able to cut them down to ≈ half that value. The fewer, the better. And
grep is your friend. (I haven't yet got accustomed to C-c a s, but it's
really good.)
Also, if English is not your native language, consider making notes in
English. Whether you like it or not, it has one huge advantage: it's
/simple/. Almost no inflections, so grepping English texts is /much/
easier than, say, Polish (we have /a lot/ of inflections). (In this
regard, Esperanto is even better, though personally I'm not fluent
enough in it to make my notes in Esperanto comfortably.)
