Pro life tip: if you don’t think you need to keep info long term, but you need it for a short time, your browser address bar works super well to temporarily keep info you have no reason to save beyond like 20 min.
You can save it if you want, but the default is to search for it and that won’t do diggity dog shit if you are looking for a company.
I wouldn't recommend this for any information you would like to keep private, as most browsers send everyting entered into the address bar to a search engine by default. But otherwise that would definitely work.
I personally often open a text editor and put the information in there without saving it in a file.
