Exactly like you do but sometimes capturing some screen shot or save the text with a good title hoping to use it again and never do in reality because I either remember things or things change so fast that all the notes become useless before needing it again. If it is recipe of something that I would forget while I am doing it, I write it down. I typically end up looking up things unless it was a needle in a hay stack.

You are starting from a false assumption. Not everyone loses track of such things. Not everyone compiles lists and tabs of such things to begin with.

It sounds like you are trying to find a solution for an existing (but flawed) solution... instead of asking: What problem am I trying to solve that makes me collect all this stuff in the first place?
