This would be an interesting additional layer for google maps search which I often find to be lacking. For example, I was recently travelling in Gran Canaria and looking for places selling artesan coffee in the south (spoiler: only one in a hotel which took me almost half an hour to even find). Searching for things like "pourover" and "v60" is usually my go-to signal but unless the cafe mentions this in their description or its mentioned in reviews it's hard to find. I don't think they even index the text on the photos customers take (which will often include the coffee menu behind the cashier).
- robertlagrant 1y agoSeems like searching for V60 would get you a lot of Volvos! Is anyone photographing these words in coffee shops that would let them be surfaced here?
- deanc 1y agoYeah, that can be somewhat of a problem in bigger cities ;-) It's pretty common for people to have taken a photo of the menu in cafes but as mentioned it seems google isn't ingesting or surfacing that information for text search.
- mockingloris 1y agoIt could be. If they didn't think about it, now they can. Could easily seeing myself come back to this. │ └── Dey well; Be well
