I know of no way to search using a keyword but if you know of an event or 
person where you've already used this source, just bring up the data and use 
copy to copy the source to your clipboard. If you need to change/ edit the 
detail, do that before you begin using it for the current event(s).

I have approx 550 sources, not nearly as many as you, but I make my list as 
easy to use as possible by prefacing the Source List name with identifiers like 
Will: Book: Marriage record: 1850 Census: Obituary: Death Certificate: CD: 
Newspaper: Personal Research: etc. This way, I can quickly move to the area of 
interest in my source list and then use page down to quickly move through this 
specific area of sources. These Source List Names aren't used in the printed 
source, as they're only for my benefit. When I click on "Cite a Master Source", 
I just begin typing Bo and the list jumps right to the beginning of the list of 
books I've cited as sources. Then page down moves me quickly through the list 
until I see the book source I'm looking for.

Other users may have similar ideas to help you organize your list. If so, I 
hope they chime in with their methods of handling a large source list. We can 
all learn from each other.
