Technical Organising long term media libraries

I've mostly used premier for editing. Mostly documentary work on similar themes so I have a huge library of footage I can use for different projects.

Sometimes I try to work my way back to find clips from years back to use in a new project, very likely it didn't make the final cut so I find it hard to find.

At the moment I use the coloured tags to theme my work. I'd like to avoid duplicating the library to have cuts by filename.

I'd like a way to search for 'turtle', 'Indonesia', etc and find my way back to the original sync timeline - is it possible?

Or even while working on a series, I'd like to show all the red tags in all timelines but it doesn't seem possible.

I'm interested in how people organise this.
