I think you nailed the problem with your last statement, but let's see if I can clarify a little bit. I am new at pmapper so please bear with me a bit.
We have a a layer of data that is disabled if it is past a certain zoom level. We can't select the layer or anything on it until we zoom in enough. Our custom selection tool works great if you are zoomed in enough. You select an area or a specific record and it opens up a web page with the custom info attached to it. Both our tool and your selection tools work great. However, when zoomed out a bit or even all the way out to the extents of the map, the data on that layer become unavailable for viewing or selection. What we would like to do is force the selection to a specific layer or to all layers regardless of zoom level. So, I think that your last statement was exactly what I am after. Could you explain to me how to force the search?
