[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose-developers] Highlight results of Search

[Nelson Soto]

Jay, 

 

As Brian mentions, a custom PHP script is the way to go here. I wrote a
custom script that highlighted multiple features based on specific IDs
as an input. The code is not public and I can't really lend much help on
it but what I wanted to do was suggest for you to start by looking at
the buffer selection PHP file. 

 

IIRC, the buffer tool runs a search and then exports the result to a new
shape file which then gets dynamically added to the map for viewing. All
of this is transparent to the user. You can use this process to loops
through the results of your "fuzzy" search and then add each feature to
the shapefile and display it accordingly. 

 

This is all the help I can get you but you should be able to get the
gist of it at this point. Keep at it!

I've done it for one of my clients, but it was a custom PHP mapscript
service that was written to only work with their data.

 

So short answer is no, unless you write your own code to do it.

Wondering if anyone has done this or knows where I might start?

 

I want to run a search, say on PID (parcel number)...

 

Ex..1211925260012  but I do a search for 121192526

 

This returns me about 30 PID address...I would like the results to
highlight or select in the map

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks
