Maybe changing it into finding an archive file given its ID (not an auto-incrementing key, but something like its owner's national identification number) is better? They both belong to the category of creating a sorted dictionary structure in the physical world.
- logicalmonster 4y agoI'm not sure I fully understand your response, but I'd say this to illustrate my perspective on the problem. Go hang out in a bookstore or library for a while and eavesdrop on the help desk. You'll see a number of interactions take this sort of form. "Hey I'm looking for this book my friend showed me last month. It's a big book with a cover that's got some white letters. It's a love story set in England and it has a great action scene at a farm. I don't remember the author's name, but one of his other books was a movie that had a dog in it."
