Q: Does Google Firebase have all your searched for places indexed
& uploaded? <https://i.postimg.cc/nhCCVxmB/mapsloctrack03.jpg>

Android 13: (with "Developer options" enabled, of course)
Settings > Google > Firebase App Indexing (press on "Maps" for example).
(That will show every place you ever searched for using Google Maps.)

There's no way I can find to wipe the index out WITHOUT also wiping out all
your carefully crafted default settings for tons (and tons!) of settings.

I just ran this command, which I hope will prevent Firebase indexing.
C:\> adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gms.location.history

But when I searched for something in Google Maps, it _still_ added it to
the Firebase Indexing database; so it's not coming from location history.

Certainly I can clear that Maps index, but it literally takes ten steps.
1. Settings >
2. Apps >
3. Google Play Services >
4. Storage >
5. Manage Storage >
6. Manage Search Data >
7. Maps >
8. Storage >
9. Clear data >
10. Delete

When you look on your Android, are your previous Maps searches saved in the
Firebase index (you may need to enable "Developer options" to see them).
