Same applies to NAS, how many hours have you spent clicking around shared folders on company NAS / cloud storage, to track down where a specific set of files are actually located?

Search isn't helpful if the stuff wasn't properly indexed.

Sure, but clicking through a folder set on a single managed volume is orders of magnitude easier than rooting through a hundred blue ray DVDs, popping each one into your optical reader in the hopes that it is the correct one, and then having to search within that volume.

Synology indexes file contents similar to Spotlight on the Mac.

rgrep is easier on a nas though
