Universal Search Logic

The BookNest search engine is designed to handle multiple service types under a single interface.

1. Category Selection

Choose between Stays, Flights, Cars, or Office Spaces using the top tabs. Each category has custom fields optimized for that service.

2. Destination Lookup

Start typing a city or airport. The system uses an intelligent 'datalist' to suggest active locations where properties are currently registered.

3. Dynamic Guest Picker

For Stays, you can specify individual counts for different age groups (configured by Admins). For Cars/Taxis, you'll see a simplified passenger count.
