    Questions:

    1. Can user search over all available CPTs rather than one by one?
    2. When trying search, I pick specific CPT, and search keyword using tags or category name under the CPT but generates none or few results only. Please advise what configuration is required to generate more results?
    3. Any method to combine CPTs into one easily?
    4. any method to allow search bar location to detect user IP location as default so that nearby search can work?

    Thanks

    1. Can user search over all available CPTs rather than one by one?
    You can use the WP Search instead of the GD search.

    2. When trying search, I pick specific CPT, and search keyword using tags or category name under the CPT but generates none or few results only. Please advise what configuration is required to generate more results?
    Less or more results depend on the search query. If you want more results, use less search words for example.
    If your search results are incorrect, please send us full details, including the URL of the page you started the search, the search query, and the URL of the search results.

    3. Any method to combine CPTs into one easily?
    Not without customization, and not without degrading performance.

    4. any method to allow search bar location to detect user IP location as default so that nearby search can work?
    Not the IP location, but GD can detect the geo-location. See more at

    Thanks

    Thanks very much for the info. It is better if search bar location allows IP Location detection for UX.

    Found a IP location plugin “GeoIP Detection”, maybe your developer can see how to integrate it into you own Add-On

    cheers

    Hi Guust

    Can you indicate where to configure this?

    1. Can user search over all available CPTs rather than one by one?
    You can use the WP Search instead of the GD search.

    Thanks

    IP location is a lot less accurate than geo-location, so if you want to use IP location, you will have to do your own customization.

    To use the WP Search, look for the “Search” widget in your widget list.

    Thanks
