Thousands of notes with the same tag slows down search

I am looking at an outliner that offers tagging where I can for example create a database called quotations with the idea that each single quote would belong in a single note/page. I would then tag this note eg Twain Mark, 19th C, USA, *then add the topic(s) as relevant”. Each note then may have approx 5 tags. After thousands of such notes entered the index of tags will grow large, and some tags eg ‘War’ may have hundreds or thousands of notes associated with it. Can you suggest a software that firstly can have a database of many thousands of tags without slowing down the performance of the software, and secondly that can have many thousands of entries associated with a given tag eg ‘War’ that when I open that tag to see the entries the software can manage that without being unresponsive for minutes at a time, and preferably respond in a few seconds?

Thanks, Simon
