I had my laptop searched during this time by a CBP officer at the US border in Calgary airport. There was no documentation of the event and the only 'receipt' I got was a pamphlet telling me that it was legal and what my rights were (none really).
My point is I highly doubt the extent is as little as 1,000 as most searches are not logged.
(I'm not a US Citizen, so my rights were further limited given US had no obligation to let me in)
It wasn't imaged or indexed but the officer sat down and looked through it for quite some time.
I think you asked people what they thought the 1000 searches consisted of, they would include a CBP officer going through the contents of a laptop as a "search".

Are you sure it was searched (indexed or imaged) rather than just checked (powered on and/or checked for hidden contraband)?
It all comes down to semantics, doesn't it?
