Yikes.
The funny thing is that I got the functionality that I want with some free software that came with a pocket computer I bought ten years ago - the good old Psion 5, which I only stopped using last year.
Using its database program, each record would hold a note, with one field for note title, one field for categories, and one field for the note itself. The latter allowed bold/italic formatting (and embedding of word processor documents for fancier formatting). In the categories field, I would type the relevant categories for the record, eg "Bert" or "Plot twist" or ""Subplot 1". So if I wrote a note about a scene that contained Bert engaged in a plot twist in subplot 1, the categories field would include all of those. Then there was a simple filter function, so I could quickly filter for only those records that included "Bert" or "Subplot 1" or whatever.
It seems bizarre that there isn't anything quite like this available. A database that allowed you to have formatting within a field would do it, but as you say cravaus, I don't think there are any.
Would a database program allow me to include a link to a Textmaker file if I needed to have some text with formatting in it? That might be a workaround.
