It's not very mundane, it's quite difficult to search for things when you don't know exactly what the thing is. Computers are laughably bad at this. I can tell a friend to find something in my room and give a vague description of the object. But with a file on my computer, I need to know actual content in the file. And images or video? Forget about it, if you don't remember part of the filename or what subdirectory it's in then it's gone.
