IntraMaps Public may have many different types of searches configured. The most common type of search form will select objects
in the map window and display the associated data in the Information Panel. Other types of search forms are: Find,
Co-ordinate Search, Bouding Box, and Select within.
Each search form consists of a varying number of fields for the user to search by. A standard address search, for
example, will have a number, street and suburb field. The fields with a * are compulsory
fields.
When a search is performed the map will zoom to show the extent of the result of the search. If a street name is used
in a search (without a street number) then the map will zoom to show all of the possible numbers in the street. If a
street name and number are used in the search (and the number is valid) the map will zoom in to show just the address
for the number used.
Provided your systems administrator has enabled the option, searches will allow you to key in a partial search. For
example: A street search looking for "Boulder St" can be keyed as "Bou". Assuming there is only
one street that starts with "Bou" and ends in "lder st", the result will be the same as keying
in the complete search. If there is more than one street starting with "Bou" the search will return all
streets that match the partial search.
How the search responds will be determined by the type of data and the options provided by your systems administrator.
