Hi there,
We use xLocate2 single field search named SearchByTextRequest. By entering the text “1100” (postal code of some districts in Vienna) we receive hits in Lissabon (Portugal) and Nicosia (Cypress).
Vienna doesn’t appear at all. If we use “1100 W” or “1100 Österreich” we are successful.

Is there some country filter available we could apply to get the result we would like to have? We don’t want a global search…
Best regards,
Leo

Hi Leo
This will be a new feature of the xServer 2.17 which is currently planed for end of February. Then it is possible to restrict the single field search on spezific countries. In your case the request could look like this:

Code: Select all

{
  "$type": "SearchByTextRequest",
  "text": "1100",
  "searchOptions": {
    "allowedCountries": [
      "AT","DE","CH"
    ]
  }
}

Best regards

Hi there,

the feature described by Jochen can improve both the quality of a result and also the performance because the data that has to be analyzed is reduced

Customers who are active in a defined part of the world will benefit from this...

Here's an example output

: Geocoding of "esplanade 5270". Only hits in LU and AU are searched

Best regards,
Bernd
