Use ``
to jump back to the exact position you were in before you searched/jumped, or ''
to jump back to the start of the line you were on before you searched/jumped.
You can also use CTRL+O and CTRL+I for jumping back and forward.

1One really powerful thing about Ctrl+O and Ctrl+I is that it will even jump between files! – Hovercouch Sep 20 '15 at 18:36
