You can search a title after the link disappears but you can't search the dead link. I mean it's not fool proof--of course if I were going to go full librarian I would ask for title, publisher, date, etc. but I didn't want to over do it. There is a bot in Wikipedia which scours it for link rot and so much! All the work to put something together and then it loses veracity with dead links.

Thank you. I admire your OCD; when you consider how many links are out there it's a wonder anyone gets through.
We have discussed the Wayback Machine before. You should test that out before giving up. Many links can be recovered there.
Yes, many but not all-- and don't forget to donate!
