Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for capturing snapshots of digital content displayed on a client device and searching through the captured content. The disclosed systems provide a search function for effectively traveling back in time to identify digital content previously displayed on a client device. The disclosed systems provide options for capturing snapshots of content displayed on a display screen, extracting data from the snapshots, and storing the snapshots for use when populating search results. The disclosed systems utilize machine learning models to extract text and/or to generate text versions of snapshots including extracted text, descriptions of images, transcripts of videos, and/or textual summaries from displayed documents or webpages. In response to a search query, the disclosed systems can produce search results that include digital videos including captured snapshots of content displayed by a client device over time.
