Please forgive me, I’m completely new to Geodirectory and could do with a little help understanding how to get the search feature to function as intended.
I am working on a site that lists specific businesses across the U.K. They all fall under the same category so I don’t need search options to be too advanced in terms of scope.
I need users to be able to search in two ways. 1) By Business Name / Keyword of listing title and 2) Location.
A lot of Geodirectory examples seem to have search set up by default with two fields, ‘what’ and ‘where’. Will the search still work if a user simply wants to search by location? Ideally I want it to seem obvious to users that they don’t need to type in a business name AND a location. They can search with one or the other. An even better solution would be if I could have just one big search box that displays results based on title AND location. So if you type in ‘Business Name’ or ‘London’ the same one will pop up…..but I am guessing this isn’t possible without two separate search fields?
The main query I have is, will the location search look at the location info I have included on the listing and does it look at every part of the address field? For example, if I have a business located in West Sussex as a region….and a user searches for ‘Sussex’ I’m hoping this should be listed?
Many thanks for the help
