FindSuggestion search configuration
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2017 9:56 am
Hello guys,
Currently, we are facing the following problems:
1) We would like to get back suggestion for Jämjö, Sweden, while using XLocate AdressSuggest function. If we type 'Jamj' or 'Jamjö' with the correct country code, there is no corresponding suggestion. We get back the correct suggestion only if we use the special 'ä' character. We are using the English language in the request.
We would like to ask you whether there are any parameters to set to get back the corresponding suggestion while using the 'a' without an accent. Not only do we ask for a solution in this case, but in general as well. So, in case of typing o or a, we would like to get back findings with special, language-dependent characters (e.g. ø, å).
2) There are some countries where the used ZIP code format contains spaces. We would like to ask whether there is any opportunity to get back the suggestions for a ZIP code if the request does not contain space. (E.g. sending (SE) '37300' as request the suggestion could be (SE) 373 00?)
Before sending you this ticket, we checked the information about the findSuggestion method on the PTV API. According to that documentation, the settings are undefined in this method: options, sorting, additionalFields are not implemented or supported yet.
- options: SearchOptionBase[] Additional search options. Not supported yet.
- sorting: SortOption[] Additional sort options. Not implemented yet.
- additionalFields: ResultField[] Additional result fields that are returned. Not supported yet.
We would like to ask you whether there are any usable searching settings or configuration parameters according to findSuggestion, or these above mentioned parameters exist only for example in case of geocoding?
If the findSuggestion method is configurable, is there any updated documentation about it? If yes, could you please share it with us and support us in understanding the meaning of parameters and the impact of the values?
We are using default Profile in the request, which contains the following parameter:
# Native engine profile. #
nativeEngineProfile=./conf/native-default.xml
This XML contains the below parameters. From these parameters is there any which is used by the findSuggestion request in the xLocate?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
Daniel
