Is it possible to search for names containing spaces?
name: ['Burger King|Subway'] //fails
name: ['McDonald|Subway|Chipotle'] // works
Thanks!
Performing a Places Search Request with multiple keywords or names is not officially supported by the Places API therefore is not guaranteed to return accurate results.
If you believe support for multiple keywords or names would be a useful feature, please file a 'Places API - Feature Request' here.
As SKAR said, add %22 when you have spaces. Your search term, instead of Burger King, becomes "Burger King".
URL, as suggested by SKAR:
Do not replace your %20 (Spaces) by %22, but add them before and after your search term.
Cheers
Use "+" if there is space inbetween the name -
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=33.4,-112.0&radius=5000&name=Burger+King&sensor=false&key=YourKey
Add %22 (quotes) when you have spaces
e.g. https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=-41.21545,174.89416&radius=10000&name=strike%22entertainment%22centre&sensor=true&key=[YourKey]
Thanks, SKAR
