The predictions in new version [2.0.2] is not as accurate as the version [1.0.5]

[subinsv]

Hi, Thanks for this wonderful plugin.

We recently migrated the google_places_flutter plugin from version 1.0.5 to 2.0.2 and the accuracy of predication has been degraded.

Screenshot from 2.0.2

The screenshot from 1.0.5 seems to return proper address when searched. Is there some search algorithm changed. Is there a way to get back the previous implementation.

I will check and update you ASAP.

@subinsv Please comment // countries: ["in", "fr"], You will get the same result as of the previous implementation.

Thanks @Shrutimahajan

But we are not calling countries in our code. This is the code we use. No changes made during update to 2.0.2. Same code works for 1.0.5 without any issues.

GooglePlaceAutoCompleteTextField(
                textEditingController: _controller,
                googleAPIKey: AppStrings.GOOGLE_PLACE_API_KEY,
                debounceTime: 800,
                itmClick: (Prediction prediction) {
                  _controller.text = prediction.description;
                  _controller.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(
                    TextPosition(
                      offset: prediction.description.length,
                    ),
                  );
                  //other logic here
                },
              ),

I think I found the issue. In this commit the URL parameters are changed https://github.com/Shrutimahajan/Google-AutoComplete-TextField-Flutter/commit/b13dda6266b7079b0de32b4f68694cddde088603

The URL parameters that is added -> &types=establishment&radius=500 This causes different json response. If this is removed, I get the previous results. Is this change intentional?

[Shrutimahajan]

@subinsv It's an unintentional change. I will check. and release a new version.

[shruti-techindustan]

@subinsv Thanks for finding the issue. I will remove the "type" key as currently, it returns only business results.

[subinsv]

Thanks @Shrutimahajan :)

Thanks @Shrutimahajan

The latest version is working as expected. I will close this issue
