Re: [Arches] Map search
David,
The BaseGeocoderViewModel has the code to do this but it was simple enough
to pull it into the esrigeocoder.
See release 1.1 -
https://github.com/HistoricEngland/arches-esri-geocoder/releases/tag/1.1
You are limited to the Mapbox layer styling but you can easily set the size
and colour of the point.

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.
The easier approach:
You could add a `js/views/components/geocoders/` directory to your
project and create a component similar to:
arches/app/media/js/views/components/geocoders/mapbox.js. You would have
to update the `component` field for the default geocoder (Mapbox) in the
geocoders database table to point to your new component.
Even easier:
Add a `js/views/components/geocoders/` directory to your project. Copy
the `arches/app/media/js/views/components/geocoders/mapbox.js` file into
that directory. That should override the file in arches. Then modify it to
use whatever geocoding service best suits your needs. The drawback here of
course is that you have to remember that the file called 'mapbox' isn't
really using mapbox's service, but that might not be a concern for you.
Hope that helps,

Re: [Arches] Map search
Hi Andrew
The ESRI geocoder does what exactly we need and is fast at finding results
after I added the countryCode parameter to the Javascript, so thank you for
mentioning it.
After a search, we get a red filled circle marking the point. I can't find
where the styling of the marker is defined: is it possible to change it? At
the moment, it's difficult to distinguish the geocoder marker from the
sites in our Heritage Assets overlay, which are almost the same colour and
size.

Re: [Arches] Map search
Thanks for reminding me of your ESRI geocoder, Andrew. I've got it working
with our Arches installation and can use it as the basis for getting ours
working.
One thing that caught me out is to remember, if using Apache to serve web
resources, to copy the Javascript component into the appropriate location
in the static web directory tree.

Re: [Arches] Map search
Hi Cyrus
I'm finally revisiting our need for a new gazetteer service to replace the
Mapbox one. I have an instance of Gisgraphy running in a Docker container
but although I took your 'even easier' approach by modifying a local copy
of the mapbox.js geocoder, I can't seem to override Arches using the Mapbox
service. Is there something I need to do to make that local copy take
effect?

Re: [Arches] Map search
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.
The easier approach
