Search, browse, filter, and use map context to compare marketplace options.
Discovery starts from the marketplace home page, browse surfaces, or search. Use search when you know what you want, and browse when you want to compare the options available in a marketplace.
Search is useful when you have a specific place, provider, category, listing, or offering in mind. Results can include marketplace items such as listings, providers, places, categories, lists, and docs.
Browsing helps when you are still exploring. Depending on the marketplace, browse paths can include categories, listing types, places, regions, providers, collections, and featured options.
Discovery can become more relevant when you are signed in. Depending on what the marketplace supports, browse surfaces may use your preferences and other account context you choose to provide to adjust ordering and prominence.
Personalization helps relevant options appear earlier without hiding the rest of the marketplace or replacing explicit filters. To update the information used to personalize your experience, see Preferences.
Filters help reduce a broad result set by location, category, listing type, availability, or marketplace-specific attributes. Map views add location context so you can compare nearby options and understand where results are clustered.
If the results feel too narrow, remove filters or broaden the map area. Discovery is designed for quick refinement, not a single perfect query.
Open a result to review its profile, location, provider context, availability, and available actions. Depending on marketplace configuration, actions can include saving, booking, requesting, purchasing, following, or contacting.
