    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.
    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).
