I mean, this is about KOBO devices, right? Not about what can/could be achieved using Calibre and the like, nor about why, in theory, a meta-data based file organization paradigm is more powerful compared to a file structure based approach.

My opinion, for what it is worth, is that the current database search implementation is likely to be improved in future firmware. Also in my opinion, the chances of Kobo adding a file browser are about those of a snowball in the seventh circle.
The current search gives me better access to multiple authors and genres than browsing the directory structure on my hard drive where I often found myself using search to locate books. Yes, I know the quality of the search on my Kobo is based on my ensuring the metadata fits my needs but Sigil and Calibre allow me to do that with relative ease.
