But back on topic, yes you must save and if possible print out everything tech, woodworking, or even cooking recipie related. This new Internet is video, advertisement, and all tracking from click driven catered results and honestly nothing more now than a horrible waste of time. I'm praying that forums and mail lists make a large return as a rebuke of this trash at the end of IANA's "special purpose address registry".

I used to have a GIANT quotes/links file which grew cumbersome from items I had searched for previously and bookmarked, bookmarked ... as one would use the term, to refer to a passage of information or appreciation at a later point. However NONE of them work at all. On that segue, HP is the worst of this faux pas in my opinion for search landed results. They simply do not respect permalinks in any capacity at all and it is impossible to find information for an EOL product that you purchased 2 years ago straught*/straight in line with their closest competitor: Dell, being no better. I do give a lot of credit to Lenovo which despite not being the same company from a purchase/sale years ago is at least in the consumer market still has readily available manuals, guides, and tech sheets still active. Shout out to manualslib for keeping information free, If I can find a link to their financing I am absolutely donating to them next paycheck.You are not alone. Although I think the deterioration in search quality really started to become prominent around 2016 or 2017. It leaves me wanting to just be able to just grep -e $SEARCH_QUERY the web. Engines no longer use key terms or obey operators. And ever since the machine learning craze began, search engines have fallen even further.
I can no longer use search engines to hunt down pages or content that I know with certainty that I'd seen five or ten years ago. It's like there's a huge recency weight being applied to the search formula. And that's not just generic search engines either, but also site-internal search such as Youtube's. Basically, if you think you've found something that you might want to revisit in the future: save it locally.
