Customising the Location search query

Hi
I've looked through the forum and haven't been able to see a solution to this yet.

I would like to change the search location function to search a custom field that I have added ( geo_areascovered) rather than the address (geo_address - which is one of your custom fields).

For example - a tow truck company based in starcity but also covers mooncity and spacecity. They would enter their base address in geo_address and then enter all their areas into geo_areascovered. This then shows up on their listing and enables a wider search.

With an adjusted search parameter a customer would find the business by searching any of the three locations.

I would assume it is a question of changing the sql query to reflect the different meta_key and meta_value, but I am not good enough with php and mysql to do this with the correct syntax.

I hope you can help with this.

Many Thanks

Lee

Hi

Absolutely spot on thank you.

I had the right idea - just the wrong file - would never have found that one ;-)

Works great now.
