Have you ever searched for something, like the name of a restaurant you heard about on a TV show, and then couldn’t easily go back to the best results you found? Google Chrome Journey can help sort out your past searches. It’s a way to go back in time and get back to your search history, which is much more useful than just looking at your daily search history.

Google Chrome Journeys is easy to use, and once you know how, you may be using it more often than you think.

What else do you need to know about Google Chrome Journeys?
Currently, Google Chrome Journeys, officially launched in February 2022, only works on desktop computers. So you can access it on any device, from a Windows laptop to Chrome running a MacBook, as well as the best Chromebooks, but not mobile yet. Google says, however, that it is working on making Journeys available across multiple devices, similar to how bookmarks and passwords work.
You can search your travel history for a day, a week, or even a year; it all depends on how often you clear your browser cache. Each result starts with your original Google search result and continues to show the various pages you visited from there related to that search and other searches that may also be relevant to the topic. You can also go back to see how you got to a particular search page by following your original path down that notorious Internet rabbit hole.
Google Chrome Journeys is good for any type of research, be it work, study, or personal inquiries. But it’s also a good way to return to previously found search results for a specific topic you want to return to.
