Search

In general easymap on

Depending on the search mode, you can set the level to be searched For this purpose, the following options are available easymap offers the following search modes:

Search levels

Geographical level

The geography layer contains all base maps that are included in this project. For example, if a map contains the postal control areas as a base map, you can search for postal codes and place names.

Address level

Addresses are searched using Microsoft® Bing™ Maps. The address option is only available when the Microsoft® Bing™ Maps street map is enabled as a background map. When you search for a specific address, matching suggestions are made as you type. Addresses that are outside the default view will not be found. The extent of the standard view corresponds to that in the easymap used base map.

Example: If you search for "New York" in a workbook that only shows Germany, this location will not be found.

Data level

If you want to search for your own data, you search in the data level. The tables of the project are searched and evaluated according to the keyword entered.

search modes

No search

If you want to disallow any search possibilities in easymap explorer, you can change the global search mode to None. Now, even if searching would still be allowed in the individual analyses and tables, it will be prohibited. The search icon will be hidden automatically.

Proposal search

The suggestion search allows you to search in all three levels at the same time. Just open the search icon and type in your search value. You will be shown a list of all results, sorted by the individual levels. If there are too many hits for one search, the best results will be displayed. Refine your search to get the right result.

Now the desired result can be selected and a data window appears in the area. By clicking on the reticle, you can zoom into the selected area in addition to the appearance of a data window.
