May I find a > similar job done for emacs? Emacs has no jump list unfortunately. Almost every operation will set the mark though, as Mathias said. If you do a search you can get back to where you were using C-u C-spc. There are other useful operations. If you find a tag with M-. then C-u C-spc will return you to where you were. Though in Emacs C-u C-spc will not return you to where you were when opening a file.
