> The original inspiration for Greplin? Says Y Combinator cofounder Paul Graham: “He was on his way to a party, and he didn’t remember where the address was stored. Was it a Facebook event, or in an email, or in his calendar? It was a pain to try searching all these things from his phone.” So he built the solution.

If you can't memorize the address you write it in your phone's organizer/reminder. This sounds a bit like over-engineering.
