I remember when I've seen something, and I've written tools to perform quick searches and create the text. I then confirm by hand, and copy-paste that text. It takes seconds if the search shows what I think I remember, and about a minute if I need to work harder.

More, when I do the searches I often stumble across other items by accident, and I've made several happy discoveries in that manner, so I don't think of the time as wasted. In this particular case the search for "Urine" in the title turned up some other interesting articles in addition to the earlier one for this story, one which already had discussion, which people may have missed without the cross-reference.
