Your query above would be simple, I don't need to type "find all photos of beetles in Northamptonshire" but simply type in "Northamptonshire, beetles".
I take many thousands of pictures of cyclists in different events throughout the year and I can honestly say it takes me seconds to find any image. Plus it can be set up so that images written to CD/DVD's (and external hard drives!) can also be catalogued, a feature I also use along with auto backing up my images when importing them.

Lightroom is indeed a very good program. But when it comes to cataloging your images a lot depends on your individually needs. That is why I use two programs (LR ver2 and IMatch). I don't know of one program that fits all the needs of every one.
