I was hoping someone would make this point. A lot of digital archiving is just delaying tossing things - a hard drive is easier to deal with than boxes of paper. The contents can still be useless.

When it comes to a search solution - what kind of searches have you done in the past? What kind of problems did you come across? If the answer to either is "none" you are planning on building a useless system.

You never know when you will need a 10 year old doc. Audits and disputes for example. In addition I suspect keeping all the docs uses 1% of the spaces of photos people back up anyway.

I agree that search is overkill - just drudge manually or use grep when the time comes to dig.
