Category Search Tips

Use broader categories for wider results: Use restaurant instead of italian_restaurant to include all restaurant types.
Combine related categories: Mix ["cafe", "bakery", "ice_cream_shop"] to find all dessert and coffee options.
Case sensitive: Category codes must be lowercase with underscores. Use fast_food_restaurant, not Fast Food Restaurant.
