Search suggestions

Search within a suggested feature category

When the search box in the Search panel is empty, Alloy displays a list of feature categories to search within. If it looks a bit long, don't worry, you can customise it! 😉

Locations is a special category that lets you search for any address or landmark and locate it on the map. To learn more, see Location search.

Select a feature category to list all the objects within it.
