Indeed, and apparently I'm not alone in that.
I understand that you want a tool for your own personal use that is
separate from what others would have access to. You've made the request
rather frequently here, and I appreciate that you've submitted this to
the bug report DB as well (#10887 for those who may want to add comments
there). So please rest assured your desire for this specific tool is
well recognized here.
As useful as your request may be, it seems that a greater number
community members would rather focus their own time on shared information.
This isn't to say that your desire for a more personal tool doesn't have
merit, but merely that in the role of Community Manager my own focus
will tend to reflect things that can benefit the community as a whole.
Given the frequency with which you express your desire to have this tool
written for you, I had hoped you'd have noticed when Peter Haworth
generously did exactly that - please let me post the relevant excerpt
from his recent email a third time here:

On this I'm in complete agreement:

Full-text search can be handy, but sometimes prone to returning too many
results.
Still, better than not having it at all.
I'd like to see a tag system introduced, so both the core team and the
community could supply tags for token entries. That would help with the
majority of "I couldn't find it" moments when the search term doesn't
match the exact token name, but would allow for more precise results
than most free-text indexing could offer.
I'll discuss both with Ben at the next Community meeting.
