Rewording of Category: Hotel #7922

Open patepelo opened 2 weeks ago

patepelo commented 2 weeks ago

The proposal is to rename "Hotel" Category to "Accommodation" Rationale: Current category search includes more than only hotels and this word would accommodate better.

Origin:

I propose to merge this PR without category_hotel.

Then make/discuss new PR with better categories/wording.

This is a good idea. @vng would it be hard to show some sub-hints when a parent category is typed? E.g. to show the blue suggestion "Hotels" that will find only hotels if a user typed "accommodation"?

It'll be useful for many cases indeed, but it'll require extending the categories.txt format to store lists of associated categories.

It's possible to treat all types included into a category as "associated searches", e.g. show hotel, motel, guest house, resort etc. for the "accomodation" search, but this list could be too specific and too long and hence not useful.
