I just have a giant .txt file, one for each programming language. Anything I google more than once goes there.

It's an optimization. Useful for rare bits of code, but not so useful for common things like converting an int array to string array. The common things become muscle memory and are removed from the file.

CTRL+F to search. Most of it is self-documenting, in the form of functions or methods that I can just copy into a project.

I don't think any cloud based tools are useful for this because they're too slow with login and search.
