What’s an Advanced Search Add-on for?
The Advanced Search Add-on for GeoDirectory extends the default search widget for GeoDirectory by adding a number of filters like:
Autocompleter Scan
GeoLocations
Searching for Proximity
Check Radius
Filtering with some custom sector
The possibilities are endless, and their Advanced Search experience will be enjoyed by your users.
The Advanced Search add-on allows both “Search For” and “Near” GeoDirectory search fields to have the Ajax Autocompleter feature.
Look for keywords in the listing title, text content, categories, and tags in the ‘Search For’ area.
“While the “Close” field queries locations and returns distance-sorted results:
Hotels in the Chicago area? No trouble.
In the vicinity of me
Since we use the API of the Google GeoLocation service to geo-localize the position of the user, they must allow the app to do so.
They can search using the “Near Me” option if the users share their location with the site. This search returns results within a user-specified radius, ordered by proximity, of the shared site.

If the option near me is used, the actual number of miles or kilometers below the list will be available.
Custom Check for Area
Any custom fields you might have added to your listings may also be filtered by the search results. If you’ve added such modifiers as:
Fun for dogs
Entry for the handicapped
Wifi for free
Now, you can filter the search to reveal only the following results:
Pet-friendly hotels within 10 miles of me with disabled access? Got sorted.
Custom post lookup
Since this plugin also fits well with our plugin for Custom Post Types, it means that any custom post form you have added can be filtered by custom fields.
