[Maps bug] Search in reviews doesn't find existing keywords

Until a better mechanism for escalating Maps bugs is established, I would like to report a rather serious issue with searching in reviews:

Many reviews aren’t found when searching for exact keywords clearly included in the review body.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Go to https://maps.app.goo.gl/QnhSvqKiEnpVQM2V9 (an airport in Egypt)

  2. Search reviews for “costume” or “present”. No results.

  3. Search for “LED wire”. You’ll find one result (my review, Dan Dascalescu).

  4. Notice “costume” in the same sentence as “LED wire”:

  5. Other keyword searches that fail to bring any reviews, including mine: “intrusive”, “present”, “disgusting”.

  6. Search for “country”. My review won’t be found (only 1 review is), despite containing that word verbatim:

@Ivi_Ge any chance you could file a ticket for this issue in Buganizer? It should be a P2.

I tested this briefely on Desktop with the same results.
