I use a simple bash script, which basically creates a file ~/.memo/$(date "+%Y%m%d-%a-%H%M%S@%z").txt open vi on it, and git add && git commit after vi exits. `grep' usually gives good results, but I also use DEVONThink to index the directory, which has a good fuzzy search option plus content similarity ratings.
