V2 discovery preview

Search is paused until the static catalog is verified.

The old search ranked fresh provider responses mostly by ratings and review volume. The replacement will search normalized restaurants, dishes, menus, reviews, creators, openings, food trucks, and pop-ups while showing why each result appears.

Planned search dimensions

Dish or craving

Cuisine or culinary tradition

Budget per person

Neighborhood, ZIP, or drive time

Open date and service hours

Dine-in, takeout, food truck, market, or pop-up

Solo meal, date, family, group, or event

Parking, noise, wait, and reservation tolerance

Dietary requirements backed by explicit evidence

Review consensus, confidence, freshness, and novelty

Result contract

Every recommendation must separate fit, evidence confidence, freshness, momentum, and editorial judgment. Popularity alone does not get to impersonate relevance.

Recommended because:
- the menu currently lists the requested dish
- three independent sources agree on its strength
- the location and price match the request
- the record was verified recently
- no paid placement changed the ranking
