Google has started rolling out a new feature called activity cards to
make it easier for users to pick up the threads to past searches and
continue exploring a topic.
"Activity cards will roll out today
on mobile web and the Google app in English in the US," Andrew Moore,
Google's Product Manager for Search wrote in a blog post on Wednesday.
So
when you revisit a query related to a task you had started in the past,
Google will show you a card with relevant pages you had already visited
and previous queries you had done on this topic.
"As you're
looking to build new habits or pick up new tasks in the new year -
whether sticking to an exercise regimen, sprucing up your winter
wardrobe, or collecting new ideas for your home - we hope this new
feature helps you along your way and makes your search history more
accessible and useful," Moore said.
"If you're logged into your
Google account and search for topics and hobbies like cooking, interior
design, fashion, skincare and beauty, fitness, photography and more, you
may find an activity card at the top of the results page that provides
easy ways to continue your exploration," Moore added.
Users will also be able to add or delete items to their activity cards.
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 (on mobile web), or through the bottom bar of the Google
app.
Users will be able to control what appears in their activity
card by pressing to delete an item or turn off cards by tapping the
three-dot icon, Google said.
Moore did not reveal if the feature would be rolled out globally any time soon.
