Yes! Search is an incredibly important tool.
I have recently started using Zotero, which can create offline copies of saved webpages and papers. You can then search their contents.
Last week I bookmarked Yacy, which is a search engine and which seems to allow you to define your own web index. However, I haven't gotten around to seeing how it really works...
I rely heavily on an Apple Shortcut that I made which saves an offline copy of a webpage (just the text and images) and stashes it in Notes. Great for refreshing myself on a topic I read about months ago but hasn't become relevant until the current moment.

I run a script daily that fetches my chrome history and creates a daily web log file in my Obsidian.
Daily, all links are fetched (as part of a larger web search product I'm working on). I can search this, but mostly i don't bother.
I will soon add semantic search and see if there's any magic to be found in my data exhaust.
Truth is I'm forced to spend my days googling dull problems and reading vaguely interesting articles.
No deep work for me at the moment

Don’t suppose you have the script in a shareable form? That sounds pretty useful!

What gets me mad sometimes is that when I work on something and hit a road block, then I remember I found an article about it a year or so ago and I definitely saved it. I just have no idea how to find it.
I have not looked, but I wonder if there is an indexing tool that would also do an OCR on screenshots, PDFs etc. in the local filesystem and then had some advanced querying.
