This wikiHow teaches you how to save or bookmark a search results page in Google Chrome. You can download an HTML file that contains the data of a specific search onto your computer, or you can create a bookmark for the search on both computers and mobile platforms.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:
Saving a Search as an HTML File

1
Open
Google Chrome. Its app icon resembles a red, green, yellow, and blue sphere.
- You cannot save a file version of a Chrome search results page from within the Chrome mobile app.
2
Click the address bar. It's the text bar at the top of the Chrome window.
- If there's any text in the address bar, remove it before proceeding.
3
Enter your search query. Type in the word or phrase that you want to use for your search, then press ↵ Enter.
4
Wait for the results page to load. Once the results for your search have completely loaded, you can proceed.
5
Make sure that you're on the page that you want to save. This method only allows you to save one page of results, so move to a different page if need be.
- You can move to the next page of results by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and then clicking one of the numbers (e.g., 2 for the second page).
6
Right-click a blank space on the page. Doing so will prompt a small drop-down menu to appear.
- You can also press Ctrl+S (Windows) or ⌘ Command+S (Mac) if you can't right-click the page. If you do this, skip the next step.
7
Click Save as.... It's in the drop-down menu. Doing so will open the Save As window in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
- On a Mac, you'll click Save Page As… in the drop-down menu.
8
Save the search as a file. Enter a file name, select a save location (e.g., the Desktop folder), and click Save in the bottom-right corner of the window.
- You'll be able to re-open the search in Chrome by double-clicking the saved file, though you may have to select Chrome as the program with which to open the file.
