Text Search

Search for places by text query:

• includedType - Single Google Places type to filter by
• minRating - Minimum rating filter (0-5)
• openNow - Only open places
• maxResultCount - Results per page, 1-5 (default: 5)

Cost Optimization

Use Partial Tier When:

• Just need name, address, basic info
• Browsing/discovering options
• Initial search before drilling down

Use Full Tier When:

• Need reviews/ratings details
• Need atmosphere info (accessibility, etc.)
• Final decision-making

Efficient Patterns

1. Search partial, detail full:

- Text search (partial) to find places - Place details (full) for the one you care about

1. Batch searches:

- Combine filters to reduce calls - Use maxResultCount to limit results

1. Cache place IDs:

- Place IDs are stable - Re-fetch details only when needed
