the exif data couls still be maintained with irfanview to give the specs on
camera etc, and filenames like 'white cat in sun mrs jones sunday church scone
sale.jpg' would allow searching.. ;-)

 folders as Keith said would allow date searches too

alternatively writing stuff into the IPTC information then it's seachable with
windows search (just search for text in *.jpg files )
