Thank you so much for adding the Search Function! We love the Store Locator and are happy to see the improvements over the last couple years. We do have some suggestions that would help our customers with a more user-friendly search experience:
Search Functionality
- Improved city search: Allow search by city without requiring the state to be specified.
- Enhanced partial name search: Enable finding stores by searching for part of the store name (e.g., “lemon” should return “Lemon & Lavender”).
- Better handling of common names: Improve search results for common terms (e.g., “lavender”) to avoid overwhelming results or incorrect matches.
Additional Considerations
- Consider implementing fuzzy search: This would allow for misspelled or partially correct search terms to still return relevant results.
- Explore alternative search options: Offer additional search criteria like store type, product availability, or services offered.
Thank you for considering these additions as you continue to evolve this wonderful app.
