Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it
enter this into the Google search
site:<url of site where you read the fic> <a line you remember from the fic or character names plus a unique detail>
for example:
site:http://archiveofourown.org/ Todd Margo pedicure
Google will search only AO3 and tell you which pages contain the words Todd Margo and pedicure.

Not sure how common this knowledge is, but I’d like to add that if you enclose a piece of text in quotation marks, Google will search for only the exact wording of it. So if you’re lucky enough to remember an exact quote, that’s also a powerful tool. I can’t count the number of obscure tumblr posts I’ve tracked down from screenshots with just those two techniques; I’m sure it’ll work for fic too.
