Location Search API Returns Locations in a Different City

 

Overview

You are entering a city in Placeable in order to pull a list of locations. However, some of the search results are not in the inputted city.

 


 

Solution

  1. Placeable Locator Search API uses proximity search logic. When the API request parameters are set as (state: Arkansas + city: Bentonville), the API will find a center point for Bentonville and return any results in a 50-mile radius of that center point.

  2. The locations generated from the search are within the order of proximity from the center point
  3. Locations in different cities are ranked higher in the search results because they are geographically closer in proximity to the center point. 
  4. This is functioning as intended per the design of the Placeable Locator search logic.
