Question about location keywords support in mappedin-js search

Mappedin JS

Hi Mappedin Support,

We’re using mappedin-js 6.1.1 for our kiosk. The built‑in Search class covers autocomplete and full search, but we also need to surface a curated list of “keywords” that users can tap to jump straight to locations (e.g. “Water”, “Information Display”, etc.). Right now we fetch a custom keyword list and do a client-side lookup against locations as a workaround.

Before we build more on top of this, could you confirm:

  1. Is there an official way in the SDK to associate keywords/tags with locations so Search can return them out of the box?

  2. If not, is keyword metadata on the roadmap, or is there a recommended approach to configure this in Studio so a client app can query it via mappedin-js?

Any guidance would be appreciated, we want to make sure we’re not missing an existing feature before we extend our workaround.

Thanks!

Hi WK_IG,

The capability you describe isn’t part of Mappedin Maker yet, but is something on our roadmap. In the future you’ll be able to add something like tags to locations. This is roughly targeted for Q1 of next year.
