- Google extends activity cards to more areas
As said in their official blog, Activity cards help you pick up where you left off on Search, and now, we’re updating them to focus on three areas that are especially important today—jobs, recipes and online shopping.
Shopping : With the shopping activity card, Search will show products that a user has been researching, even if they were featured in an article that the user were reading. This makes users compare the product which they are interested in and to make a decision faster.

Recipes: When a user searches for recipes, it will show the related recipes that the user has recently visited and provide a thumbnail preview to make it easy to select the right one.
