Omega. It's a search engine based on Xapian (xapian.org), running on Ubuntu
Linux, and it does a good job of locating stuff in that huge pile. I have a
Python script that checks for changes every three hours and creates new
HTML pages as needed. You could probably set up something similar by
exporting your org files to html.

I use org-mode for my day-to-day journal; I should take my own advice and
put those files into Omega.
