A system and method are provided for organizing and searching physical container inventories using hierarchical mapping and image-based indexing. The system receives an image of a container, associates the image with a text description of items contained therein, and tags the image with a container identifier, a site identifier, and a location within the site. The image and associated metadata are stored in a hierarchical inventory structure comprising nodes representing a building, rooms, and containers. A user interface enables keyword-based searching of the inventory and displays corresponding image results. Indoor navigation may be integrated to guide users from their current location to a selected container and may interface with home automation systems to control lighting along the navigation path. The dashboard interface allows nodes to be selectively hidden, unhidden, or modified, with modifications timestamped for inventory management.
