"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Do you mean you want to add a description as part of the archive? Or, do you want the solution to read the various fields under the file Properties, Details?
A solution I use is Advanced Disk Catalog https://www.elcomsoft.com/adc.html.
It is basically a database that tracks file locations.
You can track files anywhere, including CDs, DVDs, external drives, .ZIP files
When adding files to the archive, it can read the file properties. You can add your own text, too.
Searching for files is very fast.
You can extract the file info to a CSV, TXT, DBF, MS-SQL, XML format.
A free trial is available. Also, very reasonable price.

If the file names are descriptive enough, you can use Everything and the folder structure does not matter anymore.
I constantly use it instead of Explorer for finding files with known names. Or modified between certain dates. Or with sizes between certain boundaries. Or with names following some regex pattern. Or....

Now, what is reffered to the Search, if you are running WIndows 7, the search functionality uses the indexing tool that makes the process faster. As long as you keep the data in a same location, the index will allow your to easly find your files: note that the search feature uses not just the filename, but also the content of the file.
hope it helps
cheers,
