I frequently use google maps to plan trips. My workflow is to move the view around to look for interesting looking locations and then search to see if there are restaurants, sites... near by. However searching for "restaurants" usually, though not always moves the view to my home location. I am wondering is there a way to tell google maps to not change the view when searching? If not I'd be curious if there is a logic to when searching changes the view or not? (One solution I'm aware of but don't prefer is to include location information in the search, for example searching "restaurants nyc", I'm not inclined to this solution as usually I'm not aware of how to ensure the scope of my search matches the view I'm interested in). I use maps on the Chrome browser.
