Maps SDK for Web
tt.plugins.SearchBox
This plugin provides a search box functionality to your map.
As the user starts typing, search results appear in the list below the input field. Results list combines autocomplete and fuzzy search results.
User’s keystrokes result in requests to Fuzzy Search and Autocomplete services. A number of calls made to the service can be optimized thanks to the options: idleTimePress and minNumberOfCharacters.
For more details on how to use the configuration options, please refer to the documentation below.
