GeoSearch.Init Tutorial

MetaCarta's newest search interface is an OpenLayers-based tool to help you build MetaCarta Geographic Text Search into your web pages. This new technology allows you to integrate geographic text search with your existing search interface, or with any web page.

This tutorial will take you through the steps of creating a simple web page which includes geographic search. First, you will start from a blank page, then add GeoSearch to it. Once you have done this, we will show how to limit the search results to only search a specific domain. Lastly, we will show how to integrate your GeoSearch instance with a search form that is not integrated into the UI.
