The search form on the demo site doesn't seem to return any results, no matter what elements are filled in.

When I switched the results type from Automatic to List, I received results

It seems to be working for me. I type "Evanston, IL" into the search box and receive a map of the results.

What does your search look like? I want to try to enter those terms to see why you are getting errors.

Thanks,
Michael

You're right, it does work based on the suburb, that was my fault for not knowing a suburb to test with.

However, if I just type in IL it says no homes found, and it says it searches by state under the box.

And if I type in 90210 (the only US postcode I know) and set it to 'no limit' it also returns no homes found.

Ok,

I see your point.

Let me clarify. When performing a search and you select "no limit" as the proximity, it will NOT perform a proximity search. It will perform just a straight search (Return all homes in 90210 zipcode). When performing a proximity search, it will first get the latitude and longitude of the location (zipcode or "city, state") and then return all homes within a range of that latitude and longitude point (return all homes BETWEEN latitude + miles AND latitude - miles.....)

When performing a search, a zipcode is required (i.e. 90210) or a city (i.e. Evanston) or a city, state (i.e. Evanston, IL) is required. I never thought about returning all results when entering a state.
