+### Roadtrip category searches
+
+The `searchProvider.search` request can include `category` and `bounds` (south, west, north, east). Search within that rectangle for the category; `query` remains a readable category query and `near` its centre, so existing providers continue to work. These optional fields are absent on older hosts and ordinary name searches. The host validates and filters coordinates, namespaces IDs, and applies the exact route corridor after combining sources. The existing permission and two-second hook timeout still apply.

+Roadtrip corridor searches include installed search-provider plugins. Providers receive the category and search bounds, and the host filters hits to the route. The response lists successful and failed sources; a failed provider does not discard the remaining results.

+Google Maps directions links can be reviewed with preview_google_maps_route and saved with import_google_maps_route. Import creates places and visits together in the supplied order, with trip access and place/day permission checks. Unresolved stops must be omitted from the confirmed input. The Google road geometry is not copied.

 Driving settings also controls **Show in Days too** under **Service stops**. It is on by default and applies to every service stop in the trip, including existing stops. Turn it off to keep service stops exclusively in the Roadtrip view and omit them from the normal Days view and its route. Turning it on restores their visibility without creating duplicates. The setting is shared with fellow travellers and can also be changed through `update_roadtrip_settings` using `roadtrip_service_stops_in_days`.

+In Roadtrip, open the three-dot menu beside the day selector to import a Google Maps directions link. Preview the ordered stops, choose a day, then confirm. Resolved stops are appended to that day; unresolved locations are marked and skipped. TREK calculates its own route between the stops. Import needs an online connection and permission to edit places and days.
