I'm curious about this as well. I have some personal methods, like the notes app on my Mac. I prefer it to similar things I have used, but nothing I have used seems like the ideal solution.
Something nice in my mind would be an app where I can dump links into and it would download them, and then crawl and index the content. So in the future I can just have an OS-enabled hot key to quickly search the local index with zero latency.
Would love to know if something like that exists with good UX.
[Pocket] is easy to dump links into, and it downloads the pages.
Now that they've been acquired by Mozilla it should become easy to add the remaining required features as
Pocket will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Corporation and will become part of the Mozilla open source project.
I also really like the idea of not having to trust links to work in the future.
I'm hijacking the "name" field in Chrome bookmarks to add tags so they come up easily in search. Like "Some title (tag tag tag)".
But I also use the Notes app on my Mac. I guess I use the Notes app when they're fixes I resolve on my own (and therefore my own writeup/explanation) because there aren't external url references. So my fixes are scattered in two places, Notes and Chrome bookmarks.
Yeah, it would be like that. I'd see it as a browser extension with a "send-to-my-index" button of sorts which would then archive it locally and index for full-text search.
I think the key is it has to be easy to use and work like Mac launcher or Alfred, etc. Or else I might never end up using it.
I'd be surprised if something like this doesn't exist. I'll send some more eyeballs to this thread at some point so we can get to the bottom of this.
It does full text indexing, there are chrome/firefox extensions and there are a simple fabebook and twitter autoimport integrations, but it's not local, it's an online service.
Nowadays only few coworkers and me are using it, if you're interested i can send you and invite for registration.

That sounds like a perfect tool. Some spin on something like this?

In fact I developed it as a sideproject.
