When users perform a similar search, a “Your related activity” card appears before the list of results, depending on your search activity. Tapping on the card will show a list of articles you have clicked on in the past as part of a previous query. Below that list, old searches are shown in a carousel that users can tap to reopen. For example, if you’ve searched for “epic Fortnite battle” at some point, you’ll see it in the carousel if you search for “Fortnite Despacito battle” later.

With Search’s Collections, users can hold down on an article to either add to a collection or delete from the activity. If you want to mark a page to read or reference later, just touch and hold the link to quickly add items on your activity card to a collection. You can access your collections by tapping the menu on the top left of the Search page or through the bottom bar of the Google app.
