easy!

open up jquery.autocomplete_geomod.js

change line 355 from:

var _query = lastWord(term);

to:

var _query = lastWord(term) + 'Australia';

Let me know how you go ;)

Adski.

Thanks! It works nicely, is there a way to filter out street names and only 
search
suburbs etc. ?

i am sure there is a way..just have not figured it out yet :(

if you change line 52 of geo_autocomplete.js from:

return '<img src="' + _src + '" width="' + options.mapwidth + '" height="' +
options.mapheight + '" /> ' + _place + '<br clear="both"/>';

to:

return '<img src="' + _src + '" width="' + options.mapwidth + '" height="' +
options.mapheight + '" /> ' + _data.types + ': ' + _place +
_data.geometry.viewport.getCenter().toUrlValue()  + '<br clear="both"/>';

it will show the data type & the lat/long of the location you are searching for.

see: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/services.html#Types

and:

es

if you work out how please post the solution for everyone else :)

yes you need to check in the types array and exclude any "route".  try changing 
line
29 from

if (_result.geometry && _result.geometry.viewport) {

to

if ($.inArray("route", _result.types) == -1 && _result.geometry &&
_result.geometry.viewport) {

let me know how you go -

cheers, bob

I modified line 356 instead from

options.geocoder.geocode({'address': _query},...

and replaced it with this

options.geocoder.geocode({
                'address': _query,
                'region': 'CA'
                },
This will restrict the handling to the Canadian region. "CA" was picked up from 
the region Database at this link:

I still cannot work out how to only show only results found in Australia. I 
have tried both bob's & pierre's code without success. Any ideas?

@adam the plugin gets results using the Google Geocoding Service as documented 
here;

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/services.html#Geocodin
gRequests

...so Pierre's solution is a good one.  did you try the region code 'AU' for 
Australia?

@bob, yes I tried using 'AU' in Pierre's mod but still have no luck :(

SEE: http://www.agedcarefinder.com.au/AgedCareJobFinder.aspx

if you search for "rosebud" you get results from all around the world

I was able to limit the results to the us by making line 356 in geomod: 
options.geocoder.geocode({'address': _query + ", US"}, function(_results, 
_status) {

You have to add the country to the address part since the geocoder uses the 
address parameter 'OR' the region and other parameters.

Also, you can limit it to just cities by changing line 29 in geo_ to:
if ($.inArray("locality", _result.types) >=0  && _result.geometry && 
_result.geometry.viewport) {

I changed line 356 in the geomod to read my other forms with data of zip, 
state, city, and of always limits to the USA:

var zip = document.getElementById('contZip'); 
var state = document.getElementById('contState'); 
var city = document.getElementById('contCity'); 
var extra_query = ", " + city.value + ", " + state.value + " " + zip.value + ", 
USA";

options.geocoder.geocode({'address': _query + extra_query}, function(_results, 
_status) {

marking as Done because v2.1 supports this option now.  any more feature 
requests; keep 'em coming.

Original comment by hitch...@gmail.com on 21 Nov 2010 at 12:17

• Changed state: Done

[GoogleCodeExporter]

is it possible to order results be country, province?
I have filtered results to two countries.

thanks.
