And although I save everything I like in my computer, I never used to know where I found a piece of art or a vid since I didn't save the links (only with fic I did that).
I use a file naming scheme with the person's username, a short code for the site it was found on (DA, LJ, AO3, whatever), and then the title. It's not a direct link (I paste that into saved fics), but it's usually enough to be able to go back and find it if it's still there.
I can search by tag(s) and look for certain pairings, or certain anything.
I find it a little clumsy because you have to hit on the right nomenclature (just as in community naming for various ships) - some people have used snape/black, snape/sirius, severus/sirius, snack, severus sirius (without slashes) ... and that's just a ship name. There are too many other variations even to contemplate if you're trying to find a specific rating or genre. It's unfortunately not a controlled vocabulary.
To each their own; as I said, I am apparently not the target audience and so I wasn't getting what the big deal was here.
