This is a normal post A SINGL sorry, caps lock...A singe file directory with all your files is fine if you prefer to use search
but you still need to think about how you uniquely identify them so search doesn't bring up a pile of ambiguous matches, and this also takes planning and forethought, possibly more than if you used a directory hierarchy. If you don't, you'll have trouble finding stuff quickly.
I still kept some old DOS habits, like not putting spaces in directory names, totally unnecessary I know. It took me years of using windows to start using more than 8 characters in a file name, but now my rule is to name things that tell you as much about the file as possible, preferably using a consistent pattern. That way both location and search can be used to locate things
