I always see "near me" as a suggested search but it seems superfluous?

[–] 0laura@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

my guess is that it's useful to distinguish between wanting the Wikipedia page for the concept of "restaurant" or restaurants actually near you

Oh I guess that makes sense.

I only ever search for things like that on maps.

Who the hell is searching for Wikipedia on Google Maps? Or for a restaurant on normal Google?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll do the latter, kind of. Search using the bar at the top of my browser, then switch to the maps tab.

I thought they'd removed the maps tab as a de- monopolising move or something. Or is it only in Europe?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Right at the top for me.

What? Type in food near me in Google, and you get a list of restaurants with an overview of info on each.
