Set up a capture template using a date tree. For example, this is taken
directly from section 9.1.3 of the org-mode manual:

,----
| ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
|              "* %?\nEntered on %U\n  %i\n  %a")
`----

Use the imenu menu or just fold and unfold the outline.

Add the file to the variable "org-agenda-text-search-extra-files" and/or
set up a custom agenda view to search the file.
