Google has added a new feature to their “personal search history” service that helps tie it in a bit more with their personalized homepage (or portal). I’m sure something will appear on the Google Blog later that better describes what is new, but for now, here is my version:

The Google Search History now allows you to “star” results. These star results will appear on the left side of the search history page under “bookmarks”. The bookmarks can be edited and even labeled for better organization.

If you label something “homepage” it will show up on the Google Personalized Page, provided you have the bookmarks section visible. As with Google’s other services, you can add an item to more than one label to any item. As far as I can tell, additional labels right now will only aid in organization.

Also, in case you didn’t know. Google’s personalized home page has als had the ability to display your last 1-20 search queries for some time. It just needs to be enabled.
