Plain text emacs files for my full article quotations. I keep several ranked by priority of info: epic, elite, quote, reference.

Also I may briefly summarize in my emacs “notes” file, which eventually gets sorted into BrainStorm

I may split up the article across multiple of these to highlight key sections but still preserve the whole article in “reference”

Emacs has full lisp search capability, but I never use it… scanning with normal search across a few keywords is fast enough.

The important thing is this system never gets in the way, so I can hoover up tons of info, giving me lots of redundancy.
