Now I use a combination of org mode, PDFs and miscellaneous document types replicated in both Dropbox and Google Drive, and on macOS the system search finds things. Dropbox search only hits file names, Drive search is more useful.
In addition to my own notes, I collect PDFs of good papers, copies of books I have bought, etc.
EDIT: forgot about Google Keep and Apple Notes - sometimes use for specific things like vacation travel notes
I use google colab ( https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/)for things like work notes on setting things up, any new tech I am learning. The best thing is it support code(python). Google keep( http://keep.google.com ) for noting down any interesting thoughts/ideas/lesson I learn through out the day. I usually create a card per month to keep it organised.

I've been looking for something similar to a browser history, but it actually snapshots the text/images for each page so that I can search it. Ideally it would be OSS, self-hosted and cross platform so that it can feed a repo from desktop web and phone. Seems like something as simple as a firefox add-in would be useful.
How long would you like to be able to access this content? If it is for the long haul, plain text is the only way to go (org-mode, etc). Any proprietary commercial solution will fade away in a handful of years. At best, you might be able to extract the content before they shut down but structure and metadata may be lost. Open source self-hosted solutions will last much longer but even in that case it might get to a p…
