Lately I've been using GNU idutils for some of my needs in this area. idutils is not really tagging, it is more like full-text indexing for programs. idutils doesn't do incremental updates of the ID file (bad), but it is smart about only searching for full identifiers, and it is much, much faster than a grep.
