While searching, locations should be sorted based on the user's current location. Because the same location name from different cities may appear on top, sorting by current location would solve this.
No. I’m suggesting this for the location search in map view in the mobile app. I have already implemented this in my app for better location search result.

No mate, I’m not talking about restaurant sorting. I’m talking about the google map location suggestions in the kmrs app. I have customized the entire location selection page, it even shows saved locations in the location search page. You could implement tis for better user experience. Please check my screen record.
Check this video for more details:
E.g I’m in a town called “Pathsala“, and trying to set delivery location to an area called “Santipur“. If sorting result based on current location is not used, then if search Santipur, google map shows “Santipur“ area of another city, because that city is more popular and bigger. But since I’ve implemeted this sorting of location based on current location, my app is showing nearest “santipur“ on top. As soon as I changed my current delivery location to another location, it showed different search result for the same keyword. I think this enhances customer experience. Although this sorting can be much more improved using different methods, mine is just a temporary solution.
