including a plurality of webpages accessed and saved in a search history of the web browser, and

being generated based on metadata associated with the plurality of webpages, the metadata including, for a respective webpage of the plurality of webpages, at least one of a source event, an access timestamp, an engagement score, or subtopics associated with the topic,

the search history user interface including:

a history cluster listing depicted in the search history user interface and populated with data from the history cluster related to the topic, wherein the history cluster listing includes a plurality of visit listings corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of webpages included in the history cluster, and

an action control for resuming a previous search associated with the history cluster; and

cause display of the search history user interface,

wherein the engagement score includes respective engagement metrics for the webpages in the portion, the respective engagement metrics used for selecting a prominence level with which to display, in the history cluster listing, snippets for at least one webpage in the portion.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

receive at least a partial query in a query input area;

determine that the partial query relates to the topic; and

in response to determining that the partial query relates to the topic, providing a journey control configured to provide the request to view the search activity associated with the topic.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the journey control is provided with suggested completions for the partial query.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of visit listings includes an indication that the portion of the plurality of webpages belongs to a tab group or a bookmark of the web browser.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the search history user interface further includes a suggested related search.

6. The system of claim 1 , the metadata further including dwell time or search data.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to receive a request to remove a webpage rendered in a visit listing of the plurality of visit listings and cause, based on the request, deletion of a stored record of access to the webpage from the search history.

8. A method executed by a processor of a computing device, the method comprising:

receiving a request to view search activity associated with a topic;

in response to the request, generating a search history user interface of a web browser based on a history cluster related to the topic, the history cluster:

including a plurality of webpages accessed and saved in a search history of the web browser, and

being generated based on metadata associated with the plurality of webpages, the metadata including, for a respective webpage of the plurality of webpages, at least one of a source event, an access timestamp, an engagement score, or subtopics associated with the topic,

the search history user interface including:

a history cluster listing depicted in the search history user interface and populated with data from the history cluster related to the topic, wherein the history cluster listing includes a plurality of visit listings corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of webpages included in the history cluster, and

an action control for resuming a previous search associated with the history cluster; and

causing display of the search history user interface,

wherein the engagement score includes respective engagement metrics for the webpages in the portion, the respective engagement metrics used for selecting a prominence level with which to display, in the history cluster listing, snippets for at least one webpage in the portion.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving at least a partial query in a query input area;

determining that the partial query relates to the topic; and

in response to determining that the partial query relates to the topic, providing a journey control configured to provide the request to view the search activity associated with the topic.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the journey control is provided with suggested completions for the partial query.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of visit listings includes an indication that the portion of the plurality of webpages belongs to a tab group or a bookmark of the web browser.

12. The method of claim 8 , the metadata further including dwell time or search data.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a request to remove a webpage rendered in a visit listing of the plurality of visit listings; and

based on the request, deleting a stored record of access to the webpage from the search history.

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating a repository of metadata based on a plurality of webpages accessed and saved in a browser history of a web browser executing on a computing device, the metadata including, for respective webpages, a source event, an access timestamp, and at least one topic;

generating, based at least on the source events and the access timestamps of the metadata, a history cluster including a portion of webpages of the plurality of webpages related to a topic;

assigning respective scores for the webpages in the portion, the respective scores based at least in part on the access timestamps and engagement scores for the respective webpages;

in response to a request to view browser activity associated with the topic, generating a history cluster listing for the topic, the history cluster listing including:

a related action control for initiating an action related to the history cluster, and

visit listings associated with webpages in the history cluster that are determined to have a score that meets a threshold score, wherein the visit listings are organized according to the respective scores; and

displaying the history cluster listing.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein a visit listing of the visit listings includes a snippet for at least one webpage of the plurality of webpages in the portion.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the metadata further includes, for a webpage of the plurality of webpages, determined webpage entities, a plurality of related searches, or a dwell time on the webpage.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the metadata further includes webpage identifiers defined for the webpages in the portion, the webpage identifiers indicating whether respective webpages in the portion are part of a tab group, a bookmark, or a search results page accessed by the computing device.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the engagement scores include respective engagement metrics for the webpages in the portion, the respective engagement metrics used for selecting a prominence level with which to display, in the history cluster listing, snippets for at least one webpage of the plurality of webpages in the portion.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein generating the repository of metadata further includes de-duping the plurality of webpages accessed and saved in the browser history by

determining duplicative webpage accesses in the plurality of webpages accessed;

selecting, for the duplicative webpage accesses, a webpage with a latest access timestamp with respect to access timestamps associated with the duplicative webpage accesses; and

generating, for the webpage with the latest access timestamp, the metadata for storage in the repository.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the history cluster has a title and the method further includes displaying the title as a suggested link, wherein selection of the suggested link issues the request to view the history cluster.

21. The computer-implemented method of claim 20 , wherein:

the suggested link is displayed as a search suggestion in a search engine; or the suggested link is displayed as an option in a search history of the web browser.

22. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the history cluster is generated as output of a model executing on the computing device and using the metadata as input.
