    The plugin works in the uk but we have added some international “stores”

    when i search for “Kenya” for example it doesn’t find the store (coach) even though it exists and is listed as Kenya.

    The same for New Zealand.

    Is there an “allow international search” we need to turn on?

    Searching by country is a bad idea since the search always starts from the center of the provided location, and only includes locations that fall within the set search radius.

    So unless you set a huge search radius, it will unlikely find locations.

    To solve this you could assign the locations that categories named after the countries, and then ask the user to provide the city name. It will still need to find within the used search radius, but the category ( country ) list will make it clear to the user where the stores are located.
