Guest forced to pick a category when searching

[Manoel87]

Hello,

This may seems stupid but the way I search for a place to rent is by looking on the map and falling in love with a place. Now, with the category thing I can't, or at least I don't see how I could.

Is there a way for me to select the map and simply see everything available in the selected area? Not just _one_ category but everything. This approach got me amazing spots now I feel like I need to make a choice before knowing what I want.

Thanks!

The new search function is annoying to be sure.

I think though if you type the name of the selected area into the search (I did this recently when I wanted to browse for something in Southern England), the categories should disappear. You can then switch the results from list view to map view.

I hope that makes sense?

Interesting. I did what you suggested and now I can indeed go area the map, not just the area I search for and see "everything". This is counter-intuitive but it works. Thanks!

Yes, it is counter-intuitive and I think that a lot of guests must be experiencing the same problems. Not everyone will think to come here to the CC to ask, and they shouldn't really have to. A search function on a listing site should be simple!
