Hi Steve,

> Any thoughts?

the program you need is called Mac OS. It contains everything you need:

Finder: organize your files on an external drive (external to keep it 
away from Spotlight if you tell Spotlight to not index that drive). You 
may tag them and add smart views with your tags. I don't know if the 
Finder can handle tags without Spotlight, though. Why you want to keep 
Spotlight off your archive is not clear to me, though.

Terminal: use "grep -l[i][R] "<text>" <file-base>" to search inside 
your files. Ok, this is not exactly a GUI but it's fast!
