Description
It would be great to have the ability to somehow query nearby locations via additional data eg. review keywords.
What part of the API (please specify, a library, or the code module)?
PlaceSearchRequest options
for request
google.maps.places.PlacesService.nearbySearch
Please describe how the feature should work:
For my use case I would like to be able to search via allergens/dietary requirements eg. "gluten", "celiac"
It is possible to search "Gluten" on google maps for example, and relevant places will display in the results panel with relevant review highlighted (see attached screengrab)
Possibly some kind of "metaDataKeywords" field could be added to PlaceSearchRequest
Please give a use case or explain where and why you need this feature:
Use case example: Creating an app to help people with dietary restrictions (eg. celiac disease - unable to eat gluten) to find nearby establishments when travelling in unfamiliar places that can provide gluten free options for them.
- This would obviously be accompanied with a clear disclaimer eg. "These places seem like they can provide [allergen] free food based on user submitted content, but please contact the restaurant yourself before visiting."
Thanks.
