What is Polygon Search?
Polygon searching enables you to pull products from a very specific location by defining a polygonal area on a map. This feature is ideal for those distributors who want to offer highly localised content, ensuring their customers find products and services precisely within the areas they’re interested in.
For example:
Your customer wants to find accommodation within a custom area, such as around a national park or along a scenic route. Here’s how they might use polygon search on your site:
Select ‘Accommodation’ from the main category drop-down.
Click on the map icon and select ‘Draw Area’ or ‘Custom Area Search’.
Draw a shape on the map around the area of interest - for example, tracing the coastline or circling a group of attractions.
Optionally, apply further filters such as ‘Pet-Friendly’, ‘Parking’, or ‘WiFi’.
View the results: The site will show all accommodations located within the custom area you’ve drawn.
