You had me at "amorphous pile of crap", but lost me at 'actually find the content'... ;)

Meanwhile, I've got a single directory full of PDF files (over 60,000+) which I routinely "ls -alF | grep <search term>" for, and I've also got some PyPDF scripts for doing deeper content search - but yet I yearn for a way to automatically parse the filenames and organize things categorically into a folder tree resembling a word cloud, symbolic links and all .. one of these days ..
