Exploration1 min read·Updated today

How place search works — search criteria, filters, and result display.

Searching and finding places

itemID offers a powerful search function for places that includes both organization-managed and public personal places.

Search criteria

You can search for places using various criteria:

  • Name: Full-text search in place name and description
  • City/Region: Filter by geographic area
  • Nearby: Search near your current location
  • Category: Filter by place category (attraction, museum, shop, etc.)

Result display

Search results are shown in a combined list and map view. Each result shows title, distance (if location is available), category, and a preview image.

Integration with trails

From the search, places can be directly added to a new or existing trail. An "Add to Trail" button appears on each search result.
