Filtering Search

[Anders]

Hello there,

I was wondering if it was possible to filter the location search feature in the list view of this plugin? We currently only have events added which do not expanded outside the UK. However, when the user utilises the location search input, USA and other countries seem to appear and UK ones do not even though all the events are UK based.

Many thanks,
Kind Regards,

Hello boxchilli,

Thanks for reaching out with your issue. Let me try to help you with this.

To be able to support you, could you please share your system information with me in a private reply?
Here’s a handy guide how you can do that:

Also, can you share with me a direct link to the page where this is happening, and give me a specific example? (What are you searching for, what is the result, and what is the result you would expect.)

Thanks,
Andras

Hey Anders,

Thanks for sharing the infos.

I see where you are coming from.

Unfortunately the suggestions that pop up after putting something in the location field, they come from Google. We’re always looking at ways to improve the results, but right now we’re just going with what Google gives us.

I hope this helps at least clarify, if not solve the problem.

For info: I tested couple options which did work: Birming; Birmingham, UK; Birmingham, United Kingdom; Birmingham GB; Birmingham Great Britain

Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

Many thanks for your assistance. I will raise the issue with Google and see if this can be resolved.

Hello Anders,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I keep my fingers crossed, it would also help us – and I’m sure a lot of other people – if Google would enhance that functionality.

I will close this topic now. In case you have any other questions or issues coming up, don’t hesitate to open a new thread. We’ll be here to help out.

Cheers,
Andras
