Google photos is pretty amazing. I enter a search for "car" and immediately can see the photos os several of the cars I've owned over the years.
One day I needed to remember when I had travelled to a certain city, searched on my Google photos and it instantly showed the photos I took in the city, including the exact dates.
Yes, I know letting Google know all about my life like that through photos may not be the greatest idea... but wow, does the photo search work nicely?!

The google photos image search is amazing. The other day I was trying to remember how long it had been since I smashed my toe doing yard work so I tried searching “toe nail” and it pulled up exactly the picture I was looking for.

Unless it's local, hell no. Sounds like a privacy nightmare.
I like the idea of having a queryable filesystem, but I wouldn't want that as a complete replacement of the directory structure.
