A travel coordination system identifies geographic locations responsive to a location search request. The geographic locations are organized into a plurality of hierarchical geohash levels, each geohash level mapping the geographic location into a geohash of a different area. The locations search request designates a search context for the search, such as whether the user is searching for an origin of a trip or a destination. The context of the search can be used to determine a geohash level for selecting candidate search results. The candidate search results may be scored based on the context using prior user selections and trips scheduled with the trip coordination system. A geohash and context associated with the user's request may be used to modify a scoring function of the candidate search results based on prior trips.

Contextual search for location services

A service arrangement system coordinates service providers who provide geographical location-based services to users. The location-based services may include transportation of users. For example, a service provider operates a vehicle to transport a user from an origin location to a destination location. To provide an engaging user experience and encourage users to continue using the services, the service arrangement system accurately and expediently determines the origin location and the destination location based on querying available data sources. The service arrangement system can use selection rules for multiplexing, fallback logic, or load-balancing to select a high quality data source from the available data sources.
