Category Icons and Provider indicator in Search Autocomplete results
When we view Search autocomplete results, and even when we view "more" results
* Show category icons, so we can see the difference between a grocery store, a gas station, and a bus stop. This icon could be in the donut hole in the middle of the pin icon.
* Also indicate which are from Waze and which are from external providers (perhaps by putting a blue colored pin for Waze results and a gray colored pin for Google results, for example
Use case:
If I search for "Giant Eagle Verona" in Pennsylvania, USA, the results include
* The Giant Eagle Grocery store in Verona PA (waze result)
* A Bus stop on Verona Rd in another town (Google result - named "Giant Eagle (Verona Rd) at Entrance")
* A GetGo gas station in Verona PA, a couple blocks from the grocery store
This can be a little bit confusing to the user. How can they be certain if the first result is the correct one? Providing readily-available information like the category (indicated with a picture / icon) would make it easier to make a correct decision.
And would also showcase Waze results, which are quite often more accurate than Google Maps search results.

Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!
