The description of what you're looking for immediately brought mind maps to mind (no pun intended, but WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!). I'm not sure if they'll fit the bill, but I thought I'd toss them out for your consideration.

Hopefully, someone with better information will be able to help soon, but a quick, precursory search found a couple of mind mapping packages you might be interested in.

The first is Scapple from Literature and Latte, the makers of Scrivener. It allows you make free associations between various nodes, and connect them when and if you'd like. It has no built-in hierarchy, which makes it seem close to what you expressed in your question:
www.literatureandlatte.com/scapple.php#scapple-features
The one thing I didn't see mentioned on their site anywhere was search capabilities. But as noted, this was a quick overview.

The second I found boasts a powerful search feature among many, many other features, but at a price. It's called XMind:
www.xmind.net/features/
XMind also has filtering and what they call "drill-down" features which might make it more what you're looking for in this case. But again, it comes at a price. The Premium license gives access to all of it, but it seems the free version only provides the diagramming capabilities. so there's that.

Just a couple of options to look over. This isn't, of course, the ONLY way to do this, and in fact, there's another post here on Writers in a similar vein:

Software for developing and organizing characters

Maybe those suggestions will help more. Whatever the case, good luck in your search and with your project!
