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.
