Ever remember in a flash where you put something after month searching?

Around a month ago, I seem to remember leaving a small (3 x 4 inch) piece of notepaper with important information on it inside a book. When I went to look for it inside that book, it wasn't there. Is there still any hope of actually remembering where I put (rather than simply eventually finding) the note?

No one else has been in the areas it would likely have been left in. I have a lot of books, photocopies, papers, etc., and if it's not where I remember leaving it, then the possibilities of where it could be are almost endless (it may or may not even be inside a book!). I have tried many different techniques and looked in many different books and places, tried abandoning all efforts, and then renewed the search once more, all without success.

My fear now, after spending hours and hours looking through books, papers, etc, is that whatever dim memory may have existed of the actual place it was placed is now overlaid with all my memories of the places I have thought it might be in, and all the places I have looked for it, making its actual place in my memory (obviously not very good to begin with, needless to say) like that of a miniscule needle in a haystack. Have you ever found yourself in this position and then... suddenly clearly remembered where the thing was? Hope me!
