Search using Catagory & Near

Hi,

At the moment I can’t use the Search without having to have something in ‘Search For’ but I’d like to be able to use ‘Near’ only and it pull everything in the Directory, or use the Advanced Search instead of Search For, i.e choosing ‘Category’ with Location.

If I search for ‘Near’ only without Search For, I get the attached; using Search For with a Location doesn’t work. Is there a way to make Near be the main searcher so you can use a City or Postcode without having to use ‘Search For’ at all; or flip Search For to look for Location?

In addition the Map using Google API keeps breaking, so you can’t click an Icon or right click over the Map; it works with the Open Map API but the client wants to use Google Maps ideally…

Any help would be appreciated; we’re using Multi Location and Advanced Search Addon; they are on the test website as we are developing a Community Transport Search site for a Charity (which is why ideally we want Location to be the main search and then use Categories as the Advanced).
