Output shape

a list of place items, each representing one place found by the text search, with fields flattened for easier usage.

Each input item triggers a search, and each found place becomes one output item. If no places match the query, a single item with a message stating no places were found is outputted. Errors can be returned as data if 'Continue on Fail' is enabled, otherwise the node throws an error.
