Hi, I'm developing a website where you can add ads, and search for adds (similar) to Ebay. Now you can search according to category (furniture, books etc), location (not zip code just the actual name of the location, like London). and free text.
Now when people are searching what's happening is that the system search for adds that correspond with the category and the free text (in other words looking for category data and free text data from the adds found in the database). The location input just tells the system where to go with the map. The results of the search is being displayed on a map. So all of the adds that fulfil the criteria of the free text and category are being displayed (in the background) however, they are not visible as the system shows the user, in this example, London. This enables the user to zoom out and find adds outside of London. However, this takes a lot of power from the server so what I want is for the system so show all results from the location plus within a 70km radius. So you're able to zoom out from the location you enter and still find adds but just to the extent of 70km. Can anyone point me in the right direct? Thanks for the help.
