So try it out. Search for geographic information in your local area!
A couple of notes:
- The search by location will only work on mapservices that have a valid projection set. Currently this is around 32% of the total number of mapservices.
- The location search will only work for US loctaions at the moment. We won't have address search for the rest of the world, but we will allow global city/state/nation searches in the future.
- Intersection address work (9th and Iowa). Give us feedback if it doesn't!
- Results are ordered by amount of layers geographic envelope within the searched location
