Here are the steps you can take to incorporate a grabbing feature similar to Google Maps in your script:

  1. Choose a suitable mapping library: You need to choose a mapping library that provides an API to integrate with your script. Some popular libraries include Google Maps API, Leaflet, and Mapbox.

  2. Set up the map container: Once you have chosen a library, you need to set up the map container on your webpage where you want to display the map.

  3. Enable dragging: Most mapping libraries have an option to enable dragging the map. You can find the documentation for this feature from the library's website.

  4. Customize the dragging behavior: You can customize the dragging behavior by setting different options such as drag sensitivity, inertia, and so on.

  5. Handle map events: You need to handle the map events to detect when the user starts and stops dragging the map. This information can be used to update other parts of your website, such as the search results.

  6. Implement grabbing feature: Once you have all the necessary components in place, you can implement the grabbing feature by using the map events and dragging behavior options available in the mapping library.

  7. Test your code: After you have implemented the grabbing feature, test your code thoroughly to ensure that it works as expected.

In summary, incorporating a grabbing feature similar to Google Maps involves choosing a suitable mapping library, setting up the map container, enabling and customizing the dragging behavior, handling map events, implementing the grabbing feature, and testing your code.
