    I have a client that wants a directory. This will hold people with their information, such as city, phone numbers, address, etc.. Filtering search results with defined fields like that is no problem. I hit a road-bump now that they asked for search results be filtered by how close each person is. Eg, they want to have a filter option for 10miles, 25miles, 50miles, 100miles, etc. I’ve been trying to think on how to get this to work but I haven’t come up with anything really. I’m posting here to see if anyone has done this or have an idea i could start with.

    I’m using the latest build of EE2.1.1 btw

    Thanks!

    Hey Carlo, I think GeoFinder and GeoTagger may be exactly what you’re looking for. Just an hour ago I installed and set up GeoTagger and I’ll be doing the same for Finder next, and so far is works beautifully!
