Search Sections​

Within the Map Search Bar, there are multiple Search Sections.

Map Search Sections are collapsable and expandable. To collapse a Search Section, tap the Down Arrow ⌄ in the Search Section Title. To expand a Search Section, tap the Up Arrow ⌃ in the Search Section Title.

When the Search Bar is empty, the available Search Sections are Jobs, Nearby, and History. These Locations are based on your activity, and not changed by search. The Jobs Section are the Locations associated with your "In Progress" Jobs. The Nearby Section are the DSPTCH Locations closest to your current position. The History Section are places you've selected via search in the past.

In the History Section, you can long press a result to remove it from your Search History.

If it is your first time searching for a Location in DSPTCH, you will not have any results in History. This is also the case if you choose to Clear Map Cache in DSPTCH Settings. For more information on DSPTCH Settings, please see the App Settings docs.

As you type, new Search Sections will appear for Sites, Features, and Places. The Sites Section are the Locations you can see on the map. The Features Section are the Locations contained within a Site. The Places Section are businesses and destinations you might expect in consumer map applications, and not unique to DSPTCH.
