Indexing and search are precisely what the Journal is supposed to provide.
~ In fact, there's a nice, fully functioning search box at the top.  The
search even includes the full text of your Write entries, etc.  The
Journal approach was sparked in part by the move, among all major desktop
environments, toward search as the principle data retrieval mechanism
(Google Desktop Search, WinFS, Spotlight, Beagle, etc.)

Improvements to this system are needed, but all major design work on the
Journal has been on hold for a long time, waiting for the new datastore.
