@mdione @organicmaps search UX as in UI interaction, yes. But google these days fails to find extremely simple and relevant results for which they *do* have the data (see example in my thread) and I have no idea how their engineers/PMs justify that besides "that company didn't pay us to advertise."

I've been noticing this for over a year now that gmaps will say "end of results" for searches like "restaurant" when clearly within my viewport there are dozens of restaurants that they have data for

Here's another example from #grenoble, Dec 2022. This is really becoming an issue. If I owned any business who's customer base is significantly impacted by search engine directions, I'd be very worried about google taking my customers hostage.
