Mapbox Search Integration
If you're adding Mapbox search to an app, this walks you through the whole process instead of dumping you straight into API docs. It starts with discovery questions to figure out what users are actually searching for (addresses, POIs, or both), then routes you to the right Mapbox product. The key insight here is that Search Box API is the default for almost everything interactive, while Geocoding API is really just for batch server-side work. It covers web (including React-specific patterns), iOS, and Android implementations. Honestly, the decision tree alone is worth it since Mapbox has multiple search products and the naming doesn't make the distinctions obvious.
