This is a no-brainer. Microsoft tried to hit a fly with a hammer and noticed their arm getting tired. Why would you build a complex database filesystem for searching through some pictures and word documents, or movies and songs? The answer is: you wouldn't. You'd do what everyone is already doing: provide a user app that indexes important files and lets you search them. Problem solved. That is the current state of things. Anything else is head-in-cloud right now.
