I have been wondering the best way to do that. I keep these all documented in a spreadsheet, so it would be somewhat trivial to convert that to a searchable list on the web. But… where would I put that index?
Make a post here? It could be a “living post” of sorts, which I can add to with each GIF dump. Users could then just open the post and CTRL+F to search for the GIF they have in mind.
Develop a custom website similar to something like Funcooker, Yarn, Tenor, etc.? That would be very customizable, allowing for tagging/searching by quote, character, mood, and the like.
Something else more purpose-built for this sort of thing?
A spreadsheet you say? Whew is it getting warm in here?
Assuming you want to post these on the platform and not do something custom or external, I wouldn’t be opposed to a living post here, and I would even pin it to the community. Would you do something like each gif in a spoiler like you do for the groups of them now with the caption text as the spoiler text?
I could also create a dedicated community here called “30 Rock GIFs” and set it to allow only posts from mods and promote you to a mod of it. That should allow searching by exact term and getting just one result.

That’s outside of my knowledge, but it sounds hard. Pun unintended but Yarn seems like it’s holding on by a thread and has been broken quite a bit lately.

I don’t think so. The reason I do that in my GIF dumps is because of the issue with Thunder mentioned in this thread. But for the sake of a master index, I think users would want to be able to scroll through the GIFs to visually find which one they are looking for without having to click on each one. I was thinking to format the index something like one of these two:
![One thousand GIFs, one thousand seconds of comedy! [animated] [dump]](https://feddit.org/pictrs/image/6684d6bd-fb2c-47f9-8ac3-f39c51bd72d7.webp){kind=link}
As the title implies, I have now posted 1,000 GIFs that I created from scratch for this community!
In honor of that, I will award 1,000 Crisspoints to any enterprising person who indexes them for easy searching.
These are all fantastic by the way.
