Something like this would be perfect for a local LLM assistant.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, but I agree at least in principle. There should be some means to index/search this kind of semi-structured text. Summaries are also nice, but not as useful to me at least.

Like the author I also do tagging, but in the real world some notes will eventually slip through the cracks. Even when it's just one, that's probably the one you're looking for. :)

Either grep or hyperstraier. You don't need an LLM.

A LLM may be able to give you all the paragraphs referring to frobnicating widget X including misspellings and notes not referring to it by name.

It's "AI" right? It could right?
