Using Search to organize everything is over-rated.
Everyone except me makes a horrible mess out of their files as it is; how will Keywords and Tags help that?
They hardly name files properly, they definitely won't Tag them properly.
Besides that, what about the confusion that then erupts as people get confused as to whether a folder is a Dynamic Search folder or a regular directory? (Thus deleting files that look like copies, but are actually just listed in many places at once).
It is a nice thought, but hard to adjust to and really just another way to encourage horrible organization.
Don't get me wrong: A system that made it more easy and efficient to sort stuff would be good. I just don't think it is all achieved by this new-fangled "SEARCH, don't organize!" stuff. Search should work off to the side like it does now; it should not be in the middle of organization.
I think a great innovation would be a text parser that differentiates between titles, content connected to titles, subtitles, names, etc. (To finally achieve that fancy sci-fi thing where all sorts of data is easily found and presented via computers using simple commands).
Google and Microsoft have big budgets; I'm sure they could do it to improve their current indexing and searching tools.
