In the search window is there a way to remove the "In: City" option?

Ok, I see.
Is there any ways to request for “Near City” option to be added in the future in one of your next releases.
“Near me” is OK, but what if someone is looking from some other location, it would be great to have to option to select “Near Location”, where location is the specified city.

Thank you.

Hi Alex,
Maybe I did not explain myself well.

I am in San Jose, California, USA and when I go to my site and type “San Jose” in the search field the options from the drop-down menu are “Near: My Location”
and “In San Jose, California (City)”. I wish that instead of “In: San Jose, California (City)” I would have the option of “Near: San Jose, California (City)” because the listings “IN” San Jose are limited, but “NEAR” San Jose there are more.

The user can use “Near: My Location” if they are in San Jose and willing to share their location, But what if they are in another city when they are searching and they cant to search listing “Near: San Jose, CA” or near any other city instead of just inside the city how do they do this? Can the geodirectory search allow me to just search near a city only?
If not, can it allow me the option to search near my location, In the specified city and Near the specified city too?

I hope I did a better job at explaning thhis time.

This half worked, I use the following CSS settings.

/* GDV2 – Hide only the IN search recommendation */
.geodir-listing-search ul.gdlmls-neighbourhood,
.geodir-listing-search ul.gdlmls-city,
.geodir-listing-search ul.gdlmls-region,
.geodir-listing-search ul.gdlmls-country {
display: none !important;
}

But when I type in some California Cities, some of them give me the option to select the ‘Near: City’ option and when I type in other cities it does not give me the option to pick the ‘Near: City’.

It is kind of random, some times I get the “Near” option, and other times I don’t.
For example typing in “San Jose, CA” into my http://www.partycoop.com site gives me very inconsistent results.

Is there anything else I should be checking so that it is consistent?

Ok, I that typing “San Jose, CA” gives me the same results as “Near: San Jose, CA, USA” selection.

But why is it that when I type “San Jose, CA” at no point during or after my typing do I get automatic drop-down suggestion option for “Near: San Jose, CA, USA”, seems as if the city was not found, but whey when I click search it does return the right results, but it is confusing to users and I want to see if I can activate the Near: City dropdown option, did I do something wrong in the CSS above?

You said that not all queries generate NEAR suggestions, but why does sending the same query some times generates a NEAR suggestion and other times the same query does not generate the NEAR suggestion, is this how it is supposed to work? That just seems inconsistent, it should return the same suggestions for the same query every time.

OK, that is all for this issue.
I have hopes that someday in the future you will make it work so that you get a NEAR suggestion for every major city that is typed in.
