Hey there! On our client’s dev site, musclecars.wpengine.com, we only have a few listings right now. But when one does the near search, we would hope that everything related would show up sorted by proximity. For example if you type in NeONBRAND, near 22901, nothing returns on the search results. But there is a listing for NeONBRAND in the directory, even though it’s across the country. Is there a way to fix that so that it shows anything related to the query?

Thanks for the help!

The near field looks at the Google API to find the coordinates for 22901.
Then GD will look in the database for any listings within a radius set at GD > general > search
If that listing is within that radius of 22901, it should show up.
If it too far away, it is not considered “near” 🙂
