Google 'personal tab' shows events, accounts, orders, reservations, flights and photos

Google may show personal results on browser searches, both on the PC and on the mobile phone. Using a few keywords in the search, you can quickly check your Google Calendar events, view your accounts, shop online, book and fly to Gmail, and find photos stored in Google Photos. The feature is interesting for anyone who wants to quickly find personal information stored on one of Google's products.
