Hi David - The search box uses the mapbox geocoder by default. There are a few ways that you could customize this:
The best, but most difficult approach: Create a new geocoder by writing a new geocoder component and registering that in Arches. That would be similar to this file: `arches/app/media/js/views/components/geocoders/mapbox.js`. Then you would need to create a new record in the geocoders table. Then you would update the `DEFAULT_GEOCODER` setting in your project's settings file to use the geocoderid for your new record.
