Is there a possibility to narrow down the search under reviews. For example I have reviewed 500 places and now I want to filter out the restaurants for which I have given the reviews. Maybe while posting if there could be a button to filter like, place,hotel, restaurants etcetera. Now I have to scroll down to check the information.

Hi @RashmiM,

We need more information to better understand what you’re suggesting.

Can you share the specific step in Google Maps that you may think the new filtering function may be useful? 

Please include a screenshot, if possible.

The Concern that I raised was I have reviewed for many places, now 

If I have to look for one of the reviews of mine I have to search for that in the map, now in case the place I reviewed have multiple outlets still I have to scroll down to check for which one I have given the review for.I would like to have a search button under Review Section, wherein if I get to pick restaurants and it will take me to all the reviews of mine, likewise if I pick school it will narrow down to school only. Hope I am able to explain it correctly

1. It will be great if one simple yet helpful feature were added in my reviews section: search line. Sometimes there is a prompt from Google that my reveiw was read n-times. But when I try to check it out, the page just switches to the whole list of my reviews and never shows one particular review mentioned. And it is just a pain to go through the list and search manually the place name your eye had managed to catch. Usually is it a fiasco. Neverthtless it would be wonderful to find it quickly, to revive in memory what it is about,  maybe to correct an occasional spellling mistake))) maybe to plan to go over there once again and see the changes)))

Hello @Timbulimbu,

Thanks for submitting your idea!

It has been already posted, so I'm merging yours to Review.

We reviewers spend a lot of time on writing reviews. I believe it would be more useful if you could look at your old reviews in an easy - friendly way.

For instance, sometimes, when I get back to a city I used to visit a while ago, I wish I could select from my whole set of reviews, the ones I wrote on that city.

Also, sometimes, when i am with friends talking about visiting a country I stayed a while ago, I would like to select for instance the restaurants I gave the higher rating. However, this is not possible, so I have to look at Google maps trying to remember which places I visited and what rating I applied to them.

Hi @RashmiM, thank you for sharing this idea. It is not something the team is able to implement at this time; therefore, I will change the status to "Closed".

I think it would be cool if we could filter our own reviews. There are times Im trying to remember where I went or what I ate and I know I reviewed it but I have to scroll through numerous reviews. Instead what if we add a filter like restaurant, attractions, musuem, etc.
