Searching deleted files

Being a photographer and independent video producer, I shoot thousands thousands of photo and video files for clients. Once the projects are finished and approved, after a period of time, I delete the raw files because they are so huge and take up a great deal of storage space. After deleting these large raw files. Occasionally, I need to restore something. But there's no need for me to search through thousands and thousands of files I haven't deleted to find something I did delete. It would be nice when I click on Deleted Files to know I would be searching ONLY files I have deleted and not have to wade through the thousands and thousands I haven't deleted to find what I need. That said, being able to make deleted files visible in context to undeleted files is helpful. I didn't know I could do that until yesterday talking to customer support, but being able to search only deleted files would be helpful.
