Hi there
I have a wonderful test implementation of this plug in and it is pretty much perfectly how I want it. The only issue I have is this

1. Imported a CSV of places – perfect
2. If I search using post code (UK) like this – OL3 7PD – perfect!
3. If I search using post code (UK) like this – OL37PD (i.e. without spaces) – it says no address

Can you help? basically I think it needs to do a like search maybe instead of an equals search. But that’s just me thinking out loud 🙂

Hello,

Thank you for writing in with your question.

When a site needs to direct people to an area, providing a list of links to each specific area is a great way to make certain they end up in the right place.

Let me ask a colleague if anything can be done in your case.

Please be patient while we look into it.

Hi there,
I think I’ve figured it out. I was using open street and have switched to Google maps.and it seems to work. I’ve asked a colleague to test it and will feed back 🙂
