    Hi Tijmen.

    I’m sorry to bother you again but i really need to know this.

    Is there a way to implement a Search Keyword Box that queries the current added listing stores? This is really important since google doesn’t find shopping mall’s names…
    If your plugin can’t do that do you have knowledge of a similar one that does that particular job?

    Thank you in advance.

    As far as I know every store locator works the same, it sends the provided name to the maps API and a set of coordinates is returned. If it doesn’t recognize the name then there are no results.

    The only way to change this is by making a some modifications. You would need to start by preventing the name being send to the maps API, and include the searched name in the ajax request. This will make the searched location available in php.

    In php you should then check if the provided name matches with a known shopping mall in the db, if so return the coordinates and place it on the map.

    But this will require quite a few modifications to the code. It is better if you hire an developer to make these customizations for you.

    I never used it myself, but I heard good things about https://codeable.io/.
