Re: "10 said it would require a manual search to get it."
Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, there's a table called something like "seized_property".
Now, what are the odds that table has checkboxes like "electronic_item"? "digital_item"? "social_media_enabled"? (And if it has, how likely is it that that information is correctly entered and audited?)
More likely it just has, at best, a drop-down-selected field that can hold values such as "Mobile Phone" - without differentiating between smart and dumb phones, or carphones, or feature phones.
At worst, it may even be entered as free text, in which case... good luck with that query.
