I use del.icio.us for all my bookmarking and I love it. The problem is that I have 1200+ pages tagged. Sometimes I have trouble finding things in the big categories (some have 100+ bookmarks) because I can only remember a phrase from a page that wasn't in the title.

There has got to be a piece of software out there that grabs the content of each page that you bookmark and adds it to a database for easy searching, right? nope. At least, I couldn't find one. If I had the time, I'd write one. The del.icio.us API + Apache Lucene + a Zoe-ish web interface should do the trick (I don't know how Lucene works exactly but I know that Zoe is built on Lucene).

I know that del.icio.us is all about tagging and folksonomies, but the tag thing breaks down a little if you have too many items to categorize. Either you end up with too many tags to choose from or too many items per tag.
