Search Box (Geographic places) fails due to reliance on deprecated Google Places endpoint

Need help
1

What you expected to happen
The Search Box element set to Geographic places should use the current Google Places/Maps APIs, display autocomplete suggestions, and validate addresses when typing.

What actually happened
The element makes requests to a deprecated Google Places endpoint, which now returns errors. As a result:

  • No autocomplete suggestions appear.

  • Addresses are not validated.

  • The entire Search Box flow is unusable.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add a new Search Box element in Bubble.

  2. Configure it with type Geographic places.

  3. Enable and connect API keys under Settings > API (Maps JavaScript, Places, Geocoding, Geolocation).

  4. Load the page and type any address.

Observed result: No suggestions are shown.
Console output: Requests to a deprecated Google Places endpoint fail with an error.

HEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPP!!!
