Contextual deep bookmarking
A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes a computing system receiving a first voice input from a user for generating a bookmark. Responsive to receiving the voice input, the computing system obtains a resource identifier associated with a resource page. The method includes the computing system storing the resource identifier as a bookmark in a bookmark index that is accessible in response to a request from a user device. The method further includes the computing system using the resource identifier, stored as the bookmark, to access the resource page. The computing system uses the resource identifier to access the resource page based on the request from the user device. The request is generated by the user device in response to the user device receiving a second voice input from the user.
