Name the item as simply as possible, short and sweet, but have assorted tags "on" the item. For example, Rex could simply be Rex, and that's it. However, his tags are Star Wars, clone trooper, Imperial, set number, his squadron number, and whatever else little things people can think of, like what color head or arms (like sw1146, move Bright Light Orange Arms, Nougat Head from title, to tags). You can then search by name, or whatever, and it'll still be found. You can also search by tag, and group them. Search Pilot and Imperial. Even if it's not in the NAME, it will come up. I agree names get long and redundant, but the information contained is still useful. And then there is no way to easily distinguish between all the different versions of the SW minifigure called Rex without looking into the tags. While tags are good, you still need descriptors to tell the difference from the name.
