Google Maps overlay window

Suppose I search for something in Google Maps, say all the Subway Sandwich shops near me. One site is Google Maps. All of the Subways are show with a small “pin” pointer to their location. But the map then has another window covering about half the screen that describes each one. There is no way to move this window or resize it. If you click on the X to remove the window, all the pin pointers disappear.

This is quite annoying. I’d post a rant on this in IMHO, but what I really want to know si there someway to hide, move this window and just see the map?

Just left-click somewhere on the map that’s not a landmark (like a random blotch of land). The window should shrink to just the search.
