Improve "Place type" user interface in Nearby

[nicolas-raoul]

In Nearby, you can filter the pins, it is very useful.

Some use cases:

• If I want to be close to nature, I select only "Park" and "Forest".
• If I am afraid to appear creepy, I select everything except "School".

Problem: The user interface is a search bar, but it does not behave like a search bar. When I type "sc" inside the bar, I would expect it to show "School", but it does nothing.

Also, after I select something, the UI looks exactly the same, so it is hard to say whether something is selected or not. It would be good to at least show that a filter is being applied.

I am not a UI expert, so I am not sure what is the best solution here. Maybe there is something better than a search bar (after all there are only like 20 items).
