If you have access to Gmail, I recommend that as a potential solution. All modern systems can connect to it regardless of platform (Windows, Android, iOS), and programs like Outlook, Thunderbird, iCloud, Google Maps, BlindSquare GPS, etc. can access contact details. Keeping contact information in sync across your devices also occurs automatically, which I really like.

I have a .txt file for each entry with the person or company name and main phone number as the file name. If I want to go to Social Security to find their number, I open the address book folder, which is on my desktop with a hot key to get there quickly. Then I type s o and arrow down if that's not the entry, or I could type more of the name. Each entry is short, so no pages to scroll through. If I need more of a search than the first few characters of the name, I can use the Windows search function. It's easy to delete an entry when no longer needed, including all its notations. It's also easy to back up by copying the address book folder onto an SD card or external hard drive. The thing I like about Notepad over MS Word is the F3 key. After the initial search in a file, I can hit F3 and it will go to the next occurance and without the need to invoke the find dialog and then escape from it. You're just there.
