"The Google local pack within the Google Search results changes, I think. When you click on the "More businesses" button at the bottom of the local pack, you aren't taken into Google Maps anymore; you are taken to the Google Places tab. And then when you scroll to see more, the pagination is broken. Clicking the next button, takes you to a screen that says "It looks like there aren't any 'Places' matches on this topic" and doesn't load any more results."
"So when you click on the more businesses button: You are now taken to the places tab: But when you scroll down and click to the next page, you get this error: Maybe Google didn't think this change through or didn't properly test it? Or maybe it is some sort of other bug? I spotted this first via Syed M. Amir Hassan on X and then Anthony Higman asked on X if this is a new feature."
Clicking the More businesses button in the Google local pack opens the Google Places tab rather than Google Maps. Scrolling and attempting to view additional pages triggers a pagination failure that produces the message, "It looks like there aren't any 'Places' matches on this topic," and prevents loading further results. The behavior appears on both mobile and desktop and is demonstrable with a GIF showing the sequence. The change may have existed previously in some regions but seems newly noticed in others. Observers questioned whether this represents an untested rollout or a bug requiring correction.
