This is the issue I believe @aciddjus mentioned recently. It's super confusing for our users, as Google Maps API contains the place_id (used for place searches, for example), and Google Local Results also contains place_id (which cannot be used as a place search and is considered data_cid in Google Maps API). I believe, if possible, we should change the place_id from Google Local Results API to data_cid:
