    Hi there,
    A client of mine is using the WPGD plugin.

    If you search for “London” results are displayed, however if you search for other places such as “Exeter” and “Liverpool”, no results are shown, despite there being listings on the directory in those locations with that specific phrase written in the address fields.

    Please could you take a look into this?

    Many thanks,
    Jamie

    Hello,

    There appears to be an issue with the settings on the site.

    Because the site has listings in more than one location (2 or more cities) the URL for each listings should be set to include the full location.

    Please take a look here:

    For more information about search, please take a look at :

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    However, I already had it set to display the full URL, and those city names do appear in the URL. See Pluss for example.

    Hello,

    About your question, searching FOR London will return listings that have the word london in the title or description. Searching ‘near’ london can return all the listings if you enable autocomplete, or it will return a portion of the listings, those within the default radius of the near search.

    More information can be found here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/
