Exact Match
In the Exact Match search mode, the search will try to match the exact words that you typed in. The search results will either find titles with the specific word (e.g. store’s brand), and some others such as (e.g. categories, tags, and keywords). These results will give you the exact matches that have been found in the directory. If some user types a specific word, the listing that contains these words will appear in the list.
Broad Match
In the Broad Match search mode, the search will try to match in broad order by the words that you typed in. The search results will either find and bring it to the list as equal to the Exact Match, but with only one exception. The Broad Match will try to identify every listing, detail, and categories that possibly match the search criteria. By this means, some words may be found in various different listings, and it will sort randomly the results found.
To enable and select one of these functions, simply go to the Theme Options > Search Settings and find the Search Mode option.
There are two options available to include the featured images for listings added in the directory.
- The first option, admin can include a customized image for listings that have been added without any featured image selected by the listing owner. This means that these listings may have the main directory logo or something similar to have a better appearance and it’s also a good idea to detect that the listing doesn’t have any featured image added by owners.
- The second option, you can enable the featured image to select any of the images added to the listing gallery. Which means that even if the owner hasn’t chosen any featured image, the directory will select randomly any of the images available in the gallery.
In order to find and select which option your directory will work by default, simply go to the Theme Options > Listings Settings > General

With the GPS enabled the precision is more accurate and acts differently from GEO IP DB and IP API. Now with GPS, the user will receive a notification on their browser asking to enable and share the current location with the website. If users accept this request, then the GPS will collect the current location more precisely.
This option solves the inaccurate location detection of GEO IP & API AI. Now users that were testing the Geolocation defined by IP won’t get unexpected results such as miles away from the actual location.
