Local Search

Geo Location Search

Geo-location based searching enables you to implement searching for information like deals, classifieds, real estate, job listings or information near an address, zip code or landmark. SearchBlox provides you with an admin interface to add geo-location based information in a simple and no hassle manner. Searching for information on a full text basis near a location provides users with the ease of local search.

Faceted Search

SearchBlox provides a faceted view of the information and you can create listings or deals as part of that category through the admin interface. For example if you are interested in creating different types of restaurant categories for your local search, you can create the categories through the web admin interface. Users would be able to filter their search results through the selected category. No need to write a single line of code.

Time/Date based Search

SearchBlox provides the ability to setup time/day of the week based events and information that is valid for specific date ranges. The users can narrow down their searches to these specific time frames and days of the week to find exactly the type of event or deal or information they are looking for. Looking to setup a Tuesday only deal or a weekend event, SearchBlox makes it easy to do this.

Mobile Search

The Local Search information that is available through the website is also available on mobile devices. SearchBlox provides a sample iPhone app that shows the local search integration for you to utilize and model your own app. You can create your own Android app or even an iPad app to provide local search using the same data that is available on the website.

Facebook/Twitter/Widget Integration

The Local Search interface comes with Facebook Connect integrated and also allows the information that is created to be posted to Twitter upon activation or shared on Facebook. SearchBlox provides a sample Facebook application that shows the data within the Facebook ecosphere. SearchBlox also provides a sample website widget that can be used to pull the local search data to other websites based on special criteria. The twitter integration also allows you to respond to twitter DM messages with local search results automatically.
