Search Function

The search function is not working properly. It displays limited results, and after clicking on a result, it redirects to an incorrect location.
Additionally, Google search often fails to return any results.

I'm having trouble reproducing this problem. Could you perhaps give me an example of a search term where this happens, and your approximate location (or the map center) you are one when you do that search?

I was unable to generate the first issue either, but this has occurred multiple times over the past few days. However, Google Search still does not display any results. I have attempted to search for Nizwa Fort and I am located in Muscat, Oman

 

 

 

 

OK. Thanks. I'll investigate and report back.

Thanks Guido, just to add another issue that the displayed  distances of  the results are wrong. I have tested this for multiple locations and the results were not accurate ( Apple Park is 200m!!) ( Nizwa forts is more than 100km from me  and showing 45km)

 

The distances are "as the crow flies".

And are, I believe, from the map center, not your location (Do I have that right, Guido)?  So if you drag the map around, you'll see the distances change in real time.  At least I do...

Correct

Just for the record, I have encountered this same issue with regards to Google Search failing.  I have noted this has been specifically occurring when I have searched actual addresses rather than say a common name.  For example, I will search a specific address and the results will show indicating they are ‘from Apple’. If I click the Try Google Search button, I will get zero results. On the other hand, if I search something like say, ‘McDonald’s’, I will get a list of results indicating ‘from Apple’ and if I click on the Try Google Search button, I will get the same results.  (Screen recording link below)

Yes. This is still on the list for me to investigate further. Did not have time for this one yet.

This seems strange to me, surely you would want the distance to be from your location, or is this how all mapping works, bearing in mind my experience with other apps is limited.

You are right. The distance makes more sense from your current location. I’ll adjust that for the next update.

The search center can be different from your current location.

Same issue here. Google search has never results except in same situation like the screen record  - trying to find McD 😉

Even if I try to find the cologne cathedral in germany there are no results. Does that mean McD is more famous ? ;-)))
