Jef Raskin's The Humane Interface

Tasks become habits. No modes, only chording. Only one way to do things. No warning screens, everything is undoable.

Reliable. Everything saves automatically. Content resistant to crashes.

Efficient and simple. Tasks don't take time to perform. Tasks don't take time to learn.

No icons. Purely text.

Zooming UI. No filenames.

No applications. Only commands.

Well tested.

Visually attractive.

You could run a grep command if you wished but a simple search would probably suffice for 90% of what you want to find. If you want to search for non-text data, you can't search for it using text search. Instead, you can leave a label near that data and search for that label. For example, you could put a title to the video along with a short description of the contents of the video. You would think of keywords to search for and the system can create a search report that returns the links to the documents that the search program had found.
