for example the endometrial-like tissue in endometriosis, not all papers describe the precise differences, but some do - and in different manners. i'd like to be able to tag those pdfs in a nicely searchable way.
take in mind all my document organisation has been folders + files since ever.

In response to this postor say my curiosity has been especially the ankle structure of dromaeosaurs - and 10 out of the 30 papers i've read this last year specifically mention detail of ankle structure. i'd like to have a spot to find which are those 10 papers.
@NanoRaptor would using the tags feature in something like Zotero work?

None of the reference management software I’ve used has been perfect.
I used to really like Papers. I stopped using it 10 years ago and there’s a bunch of AI scat on their website now.
I’ve heard good things about Mendeley; it is developed by Elsevier so if you try it and like it I wouldn’t mention that on fedi.
I’ve tinkered recently with kbibtex; it has promise.
Slightly different approach, but I now try to use a modified zettelkasten method in Obsidian.

@NanoRaptor I don't know if you would consider using a windows machine, but I don't know (but would like to assume) if Macs do the same:
For an indexed folder (e.g. Documents, but really anywhere you've told the indexer to index contents), it is
a) remarkably good and fast at finding contents of PDFs, and if you want to save that list for later (rather than just search again)
b) you can pin the search to quick access.
c) once pinned (I can't work out how to do it without the interim step of pinning to quick access - but that's because I'm lazy) you can save the search (effectively as a shortcut) - effectively that's your note
So, you can have a search for "*.pdf angle structure dromaeosaur"
Here's an example where I had a quick glance at PDFs in my documents folder, saw one that I imagined had shane warne inside it, and ran the search and pinned it:
From there, I saved it, and it is there as my shortcut:

@NanoRaptor this is the definitive work on Therapod ankle structure,
