Search by country

  • Hi,

    There is something really annoying, when searching by country sometimes doesn’t return any results, because search radius is smaller, which is very confusing, because there are sotres in that country. Even with bigger radius the near stores in other countries comes first than the stores in the country we are searching for. You can test on my website searching for example for “Italy” you’ll get first stores in Slovenia, if you choose 200km radius range you won’t get anyting at all. Adding some priority to country, when searched will be nice.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi!

    Well, actually the “search by country” feature is not fully developed in the current version of the plugin, let me explain.

    When you search for a country / state name, then this will often fail because of the used search radius. A search will always start from what Google Maps considers the “center” of whatever you search for. So if you search for “Mexico”, then it will look for locations within x km of the center of Mexico, which often fails. This makes searching for countries / states a bad idea, but this will be fixed with the 3.0 update, which will include proper search by country / state name.

    Any ideas when it’s expected to be available?!

    No, unfortunately I cannot give you an estimation on when we will complete the 3.0 version. We are a small team and we focus on releasing a quality product, even if it takes a long time. It is very advanced, though, so I expect it to be available later this year.

    Regards,
