Mapbox Search Box vs. Mapbox Geocoding
summary
Clear differentiation: use Mapbox Geocoding for backend, high‑scale, precise address work — forward/reverse geocoding, an address autofill SDK, batch requests up to 1,000 per call, permanent geocoding that lets results be stored forever, rooftop/apartment‑level precision; address coverage excludes some regions (Southeast Asia, India, China) for full address support. Use Mapbox Search Box for front‑end POI and brand autocomplete, category search, weekly curated POI updates, offline and language support; many customers combine both to improve on‑time deliveries and UX.
