Free Search Widget

The Free Search Widget is a widget where the user can start typing and based on the input it immediately gives results based on the current characters. Once clicked it starts with a default result set. This is done to show possible options to the user and give them an idea of what the search for. The search results can be based on amenities or regions. It is currently a static widget with limited settings. The only setting that you can make when adding it is the Placeholder text. This is the text that is shown by default before the user starts typing. 

Nevertheless, there are many configurations that need to be made before it can work. It depends on an Excel file with all the possible options to search for. The benefit of this is that you can make a difference between the search words and the result set. This Excel can only be deployed by the Web Manager development team. 

The Excel file required contains these 9 columns; ( Example template )

  • Amenity Category
    This identifies what kind of result it is. Possible values are Region, Resort, Vacation Idea
  • Amenity Name
    This is the name of the result. It is what you will see as the main text in the search result
  • Amenity Sub title
    This is the smaller text below the name in the search result
  • Amenity Test ID
    This should contain the parameters that should be added to the search. Including what kind of parameter it is. For example: amenityid=1234 or regionId=12523 or a combination  amenityid=1254&amenityid=5234&regionId=43211
    Only applicable for the test environment (the reason is that the ID can be different compared to live)
  • Amenity Live ID
    Same as Test ID, however, make sure that these are the actual live configurations
  • Amenity Search String
    This is the text that is used to search in. Doesn't necessarily need to be the same as the name / sub title. 
  • Icon
    Font Awesome icon code to be shown next to the result. For example fa-map-marker or fa-building-o. Would be best to keep it consistent across the amenity categories. 
  • Nr Results
    This is the number of results shown in the result. This should be the same number as if you would do the search. 
  • Default
    Possible values are 0 or 1. If it is 1, then the result will be included in the default list before the user starts typing.
