Well, this is interesting. Apparently, since the last time I really looked, the dev team has pushed some interesting updates to the google.maps.LocalSearch. But that's another post.
Anyway, the answer to your question is going to be a little complicated. First, you have to define at least one custom GIcon for your custom marker(s). The best way to figure out how to do this is to check out Mike Williams' excellent Google Maps tutorial. The custom icons lesson is linked below: http://econym.googlepages.com/custom.htm Once you've done that, you need to build an options object to hand to the google.maps.LocalSearch constructor, as below: var options={ pins:{ local:[ your_a_pin, your_b_pin, your_c_pin, your_d_pin, your_e_pin, your_f_pin, your_g_pin, your_h_pin ], kml:[ your_a_pin, your_b_pin, your_c_pin, your_d_pin, your_e_pin, your_f_pin, your_g_pin, your_h_pin ] } }; Now, please note two VERY important things about this code. First, you do NOT have to define BOTH the local AND kml portions of that object. You can define custom pins for local, but not kml, or vise versa. And second, you can make all of the pins as the same GIcon object, but you have to include that GIcon object 8 times in the array or you'll get some rather unexpected results. For example, if you say local:[myPin] (i.e., only enter it once), the first returned result will get the custom pin but all others will be standard GMarkers (i.e., the red pin with a black dot). Then you just have to hand that options object to the google.maps.LocalSearch constructor, as below: map.addControl(new google.maps.LocalSearch(options)); // where map is your GMap object.
