Study Notes

Understanding User Intent

Evaluating query-level results requires understanding the user's intent behind the search term.
Certain queries, such as "Eiffel Tower," yield a single definitive result that meets user expectations.
Misinterpretations may arise with queries linked to landmarks that may also refer to similarly named streets.

Missing Locale Context

Absence of user location and viewport data can lead to generalized search results focused on well-known landmarks.
In such cases, the locale must be inferred, emphasizing prominent locations relevant to the query.

Importance of Research and Local Knowledge

Utilizing research and local insights is crucial for determining the appropriateness of translations related to query results.
Some components remain largely unlocalized, which includes:
- Feature types like squares, bridges, roundabouts, or intersections.
- Street names and addresses, including those of specific buildings.

Address Accuracy Considerations

Utilize the "Address Accuracy Incorrect – Language/Script Issue" checkbox for any discrepancies found in address components during evaluation, particularly in result details rather than titles.
