Zip Code Search

You can modify all the text in the component front-end via the language files or using language overrides.

You can also disable suggestions via the options. These suggestions come from Google and are what Google believes are best guess suggestions for your search query.

Im not sure what you mean by search results are linked to the address.

Our system is coordinate based. That was the design and purpose of our system. All locations are translated into Latitude and Longitude. Your search query is also translated to a coordinate position. Then, locations are returned that appear within the radius from your searched position.

The beauty of our system is that you can type in anything that Google can understand and translate it into a location. So while you can search by zip code, you are not limited to this. You could even search by names of a location. For instance you could search for locations near "JFK International Airport" by using that as the query.

supermega - Sorry we dont have that ability at the current time... Zip codes are not necessarily adjacent, so thats a rather complex issue to solve.

Moorejf - You'll need to provide more spcific search areas or increase the radius of your search. By searching "Maine" or "Kansas" it searches from the geographical center of the stat up to your radius. Searching for something like 'South Portland, Maine' with a standard radius would be more useful and would show results in a closer area. Also, customers can enter in their entire address or zip code to get results near them.

Regarding Google suggestions, that's a different issue and a good point, which we can look into regionalizing in our next release.

You can easily edit that in the language file located in: languages/en-GB/en-GB.com_storelocator.ini
