Website Internal Search

[simonsw]

Hi

I'm looking for ‘location search’ functionality to cover an extensive range of global locations  to help increase the visibility

I have been looking  to use Google Places functionality, which has an extremely broad list of locations

Would anyone have any experience in using Google places to power their websites internal search as well as if there is a cost to integrate it and other factors to be aware of?

Thanks

Simon

Hi,

I only use the CSE (Custom Search Engine) and have used the Maps API (free version) for a DB reference for a search.

But it sounds like you would need the premium API access since you are actually needing to display locations as places does, which on cost or use I am not sure. But below is the google page where you can begin your research.

Hope this helps
