Improved business category filters

We’ve added category matching and exclusion rules for more specific business searches.

You could already choose an exact business category. The new rules let you include related categories together or leave particular matches out. That’s useful when the business types you want span several categories.

Related categories in one search

A Contains rule for restaurant can match several restaurant categories. An exact Restaurant selection keeps the search to that category. You also have Starts with, Ends with and Equals rules.

These rules match the business category identifier. They don’t search the business name or domain name.
