I have a notes.org, which is a first stage dumping ground for a remember
template. I use org refile to place my note into its correct file. I
find that using tags and sub headings makes things easy to find. If all
else fails there is always grep.
For example in my computer.org I have:
* Tips and Tricks.
** ssh
*** Force password authentication
*** Tunne Firefox over ssh
Ian.
