Answers.Text: We have had a similar request recently to be able to 'Archive' contacts so that they don't show up in standard searches. Trash does this quite well so I wonder if a solution would be to go down that approach again for 'archived'

Answers.Text: @petednz-fuzion I've hesitated to go down that road with folks because Deleted and Archived (or Leads, or non-donor contacts, or any of the other use cases I've seen) shouldn't be the same thing.  Of course, until someone steps up to do the work (or sponsor it), I think your answer makes sense.

Answers.Text: in case my shorthand wasn't clear, i was thinking that Archived would work along same lines as Trash, ie column in Contact table to denote 'archived' and all searches would ignore results unless a 'search in archives' or 'also include archives' checkbox was ticked, much as "search in trash' works - but agree that until a sponsor comes along it will gather dust ;-)

  You can use tags, as Pete suggested.
  
  However, CiviCRM does NOT have the built-in concept that some CRMs (notably Salesforce) that indicates "don't show this contact in search results by default". I agree it would be a great feature but it's not there at the moment.
