My approach is simple. For TODO items, I archive to separate file when
done. That file is easily searchable, e.g. using C-c /.
I keep both the original file and the archive file under revision
control, just in case.

What info is lost? In fact, if you log state changes, all the
information is there.
By the way, if you have recurring items, one package that you might find
useful is org-recur which is on ELPA.
