All the media players have playlist and index features. So there's
little need for searching an entire Samba share is there?
Maybe you need to further explain exactly how users interact with these
thousands of media files from Windows/etc clients.
Surely there is a freeware Linux program to index such media files to a
database, and present them in a sorted web interface, or a web interface
that does the 'searching'.
What you apparently require is not something that can be addressed or
optimized by filesystem or kernel tweaks. As Dave pointed out with the
'locate' example in a CLI, this kind of thing is precisely what
databases were designed for.
