About Search Terms
Certain search terms are not currently recognized as locations in the Fly To tab. These
include:
●
Minor city names in many countries
●
State or province names alone
●
Search terms that are not a recognizable location search are treated as a
business listing search over the current view. For more information on how
listing searches work, see
Tip: If you want to find a particular street in a city, you can enter the name of the
street alone, and the search engine will display the top 10 matches for that street
entry. For example, if you want to find Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA, you can
enter the phrase Sunset Blvd Hollywood CA in the search field and the beginning of
Sunset Boulevard will be displayed in the 3D viewer, along with the top 10 results for
streets that contain the string Sunset in their name.
