Text Search (New) returns information about a set of places based on a string (for example, "pizza in New York" or "shoe stores near Ottawa" or "123 Main Street"). The service responds with a list of places matching the text string and any location bias that has been set.

In addition to required parameters, Text Search (New) supports refining queries using optional parameters for better results.

You can refine the search by specifying details such as price levels, current opening status, ratings, or specific place types. You can also specify to bias the results to a specific location, or restrict the search to a specific location.
