Currently I basically do what you mentioned in your example. I just have a list of websites in my bookmarks that I check when I need something. If I can't find it there, then I use a search engine. However, I try to narrow down the search with operators. Just as an example, if I can't find something using the official reddit search (but I know it should be there somewhere) I'll do <query> site:reddit.com. I've also started asking AI for certain answers to things I want to know. But usually only when I have enough understanding of the topic to know if the output is likely to be somewhat accurate. I use search engines a lot less than I used to, and I kind of prefer it that way with how awful search is these days.
