Similarly, you could make the logic in that single index HTML page
(pre-built, static) also handle a set of keywords associated with each
indexed item, and again for date. Don't know enough to say it could
also handle substring search (on a pre-built-index, again part of that
single HOME HTML page.
Just some thoughts,

Or would you have them grouped under a single level of "Topic"
directories to try to minimize the confusion?
This is where static files fall over: can they be sorted by Topic,
Tag, Filename, Date,...?
What about searching contents? Sure, `grep` exists, but since they're
to be accessed in a browser, that does not help there.
I imagine static files can work in some instances, but I'm just a big
Non-Fan, personally.
