Hi Richard,
Thanks for the info. Nyall also suggested your repo to have a look at
integrating our own search provider.
I think both a blog post and description in the manual would be helpful ;-)
I will try and will ask again if I need some help.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
I am starting to explore the new locator widget (the one in the bottom
left in the status bar (thanks Nyall!)) and have some questions:
My questions are around the feature filter of the active layer, prefixed
with "f":
* In what attributes is it actually searching? In any attribute?
* Could I prefix in which attribute I want to search?
* What if I want to search in attributes that have a represent_value
(e.g. a relation reference widget) - meaning I don't want to search
for internal code, but human-readable values stored in another
table? I am specifically refering to the relation reference widget.
* How would I display the result of a non-spatial table? Could we, if
the layer is non-spatial, open the feature form when I click on a
result in the result list?
* Is there somewhere some documentation around how to best use the
locator (in general, not restricted to finding features)? I don't
think that everything is self-explanatory.
Thanks for any information around the locator and maybe for some answers
to my above questions!
Hi Andreas,
I've been looking around with it too, by first creating a locator for
our national geocoder-service (which has a suggest-service):
https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/pdoklocatorplugin
And added a nomatim-search after finding out how easy it was...
See:
https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/pdoklocatorplugin/blob/master/pdoklocator/plugin.py
That is the minimal stuff you need (I think).
Install http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/pdoklocator/
It is an experimental/temporary one, I want to remove it later.
I asked Nyall some questions some weeks ago some questions too:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2017-September/049857.html
And Nyall's answers:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2017-October/049905.html
For most questions the answer is:
yes you can implement what you want :-)
We could/should write a blog about it ...
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde
