Interestingly, it's the lack of searchability that made me gravitate towards a physical system. It forces me to think about the situations I may find myself in when I'll want a piece of information, in order to file it in the correct place.

This has the odd effect that I'm more successful at finding things in my paper system than I ever was with an electronic one, though it's probably of little use to anyone else. I also find that flipping through the notecards to file or look up something serves as a pretty good idea-generation engine.
