# Search Google Place API

 * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-google-place-api/)
 * I want to create search form (in WordPress) with Google Place Api, where you 
   can type city or state or zip-code. In the search results page I have had more
   advanced form with 2 fields (city or state or zip-code input, select with taxonomy“
   services”)
 * So I create Custom Post Type “Shop” with taxonomies (“state” and “services”).
 * For example – CPT post: “Shop Name” – State: “Illinois” – Services: “Service 
   1”, “Service 2”
 * I’ve created searchform.php file (simple form with one field): pastebin.com/cUPd2SWS
 * File search.php contains second, more advanced form (two fields): pastebin.com/
   N7u18b2y
 * Javascript function to set value in hidden field
 *     ```
       var state = document.getElementById('state');
       var stateData = document.getElementById('s');
       var options = {
           componentRestrictions: {
               country: 'us'
           }
       };
   
       var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(state, options);
   
       autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {
           var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
   
           if (place.geometry) {
               stateData.value = place.place_id + ':' + place.geometry.location.lat() + ':' + place.geometry.location.lng();
           } else {
               stateData.value = '';
           }
       });
       ```
   
 * Now in functions.php file I created sql query: [http://pastebin.com/iNtPdn95](http://pastebin.com/iNtPdn95)
 * When I type in search for example only state by text (without autocomplete) I
   have correct results.
 * But when I type for example city “Chicago” and select autocomplete “Chicago, 
   Illinois, United State” my results is wrong
 * I var_dump WP_Query object on search results page
 * test.dev/?s=ChIJ7cv00DwsDogRAMDACa2m4K8%3A41.8781136%3A-87.62979819999998&state
   =Chicago%2C+Illinois%2C+United+State
 * WP_Query object [http://pastebin.com/9Lzf8Pbd](http://pastebin.com/9Lzf8Pbd)
 * I think that problem is in public ‘tax_query’ array. How Can I resolve this that
   state taxonomy select only state.
 * And how can I select state when user send zip-code (without autocomplete)?
