Yes, I have often searched the filebucket for a path of interest.  In
theory, the checksum I need is available from a report, but in practice
the report may not be readily available.  Questions like "find all the
saved versions of this file" are much more easily answered by searching
the actual content of the filebucket than by searching all old logs back
to the beginning of time.
