While reviewing my Google search history, it was interesting to see what I was working on one year ago, two years ago. I didn't make any special effort to record what I was working on, the searches were completely organic.
I couldn't tell you exactly what I was working on one/two years ago. But I could tell you after seeing my search history.
That's how I came to the realization search history is a zero-effort journal. I started making a feature that is similar to search history, but focuses more on the journal aspect. You can add explicit journal entries. Search/browsing are focused on surfacing interesting patterns/entries vs. finding specific entries.
