Map Search ( Codeless)

Katherine Ramirez Updated by Katherine Ramirez

This article will explain how the Map Search feature works on Placester sites.

Introducing our new Map design

Activating Map Search

To have the Map Search feature display on your site, from your customizer, go to Listings then click the search result page. You can then choose from designs 3,4, and 5 because those designs have the maps.

Once users choose the map option, the listing search page will change to a Map Search as seen below.

Here, end-users will be able to see the pins for the listing and these pins will display the listing prices and information such as virtual tours and open houses while also being able to zoom into the map if they want to look for listings in a specific area, and click and drag around to view other results on the map. 

The color of the pins in the Placester map will depend on the primary color you've used on your website. YOu can always customize it by changing the color palette use on your website.

Polygon search is a search option exclusive to map search that allows a user to find properties in a custom area on the map by drawing a polygon shape.

Polygon Search is activated by clicking the Draw or Radius button on the upper left side of the map.

Once this button has been clicked your cursor will change to a cross (+). Move the cursor to where you would like to begin the line and click once to begin the first line.

Then click again to end the first line and continue until you have created the shape desired. Once you connect the last line to the first the shape you have created will shade in and all properties in the selected area will show.

If you would like to adjust the area after the polygon has been drawn, you can click on one of the corners and drag it to a different area. An arrow will appear next to the corner you clicked. By clicking on the arrow, the area will revert back to the most recent polygon shape.

Once the area has been drawn, you can clear the search by clicking on the Clear Search Area button in the upper righthand corner.
