>Don’t bother with elaborate tag or folder based taxonomies. Search is more efficient. I, at least, cannot accurately predict what taxonomy I’ll need 5 years in the future, nor can I consistently tag every file correctly. There is some empirical support in favor of search over tagging [1].

that is interesting.
We also had a discussion in this forum if powerful search such as Google’s semantic search could nullify the need to organize (hierarchically arrange or tag) information.

It helps you to find something, but it does not allow you to search for something.

Thanks for the link, Andy.

It is so interesting to learn about the varied ways people go about organizing their information. One day someone will describe a system and everyone will say, “That’s the one. I need no other.” Or not.
