searchPlaceIndexForText

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to Geocode/location/latest/APIReference/API_geoplaces_Geocode.html or SearchText/location/latest/APIReference/API_geoplaces_SearchText.html unless you require Grab data.

• SearchPlaceIndexForText is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Places API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).

• The version 2 Geocode operation gives better results in the address geocoding use case, while the version 2 SearchText operation gives better results when searching for businesses and points of interest.

• If you are using an Amazon Web Services SDK or the Amazon Web Services CLI, note that the Places API version 2 is found under geo-places or geo_places, not under location.

• Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Places API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab. Geocodes free-form text, such as an address, name, city, or region to allow you to search for Places or points of interest.

Optional parameters let you narrow your search results by bounding box or country, or bias your search toward a specific position on the globe.

You can search for places near a given position using BiasPosition, or filter results within a bounding box using FilterBBox. Providing both parameters simultaneously returns an error.

Search results are returned in order of highest to lowest relevance.
