Confused: Autocomplete supports only "establishment" and "geocode" as type, but Search supports also the others...

The 'type' paramater of the two APIs are not directly comparable. They
mean differnt things

The Places search only searches "establishment" - it can't search
"geocode"s. There is a seperate API for that anyway.

The Places search api allows more fine grained control of the types of
establishments searched.

Yeah - I am looking for more granular way, e.g. to present only
specific type of businesses.
The problem that for some reason Search+GetDetails later returns less
accurate business details than autocomplete directly.
