Description of the "Google Maps API Search" Page:
This page allows users to utilize the Google Maps API to search for places using the Google Place ID. Users need to input their API key, select a region, choose the type of place (e.g., doctor, restaurant, hotel, store, etc.), and specify the number of pages for displaying results.
