Stars let you quickly and easily bookmark your favorite web content across a number of Google products. Customize your Google Web Search results by clicking the star icon next to any search result's title. When you're signed in to your Google Account, you'll see your starred results whenever you do the same or similar searches.

That means when you star something in Maps (like a local business listing), it can also appear in the "Starred results" on a relevant Google search results page. Starred results also sync with your Google Bookmarks, which is available in the Google Toolbar and at google.com/bookmarks.
