Search Parameter

Post by Sarah »

Am I correct in assuming that the search function returns the Nearest locations?
How does your Search Parameter work?

storing location data on IVR servers

Post by support »

Hi,

If you are storing your location data on our IVR servers, then locations should be ordered from nearest to farthest. We start the search radius relatively low (~10 miles) and then gradually increase it if too few results are found.

If you are accessing the location data with a web service that you wrote and maintain, then you must implement the ordering of the locations by distance yourself.

Regards,
Plum Support
