Hi Team,

I have geolocation enabled for searching, but I have a problem.

When we create an ad, the location field is optional because my customer type doesn’t always have physical offices. (We leave the location field empty

)

When I do a search and indicate a specific location, the answer is ads by proximity, I get all ads  
that have indicated their location, but the ad that has not indicated location does not appear.

I think they should all appear, although the ones that don’t indicate location appear at the end because they are less specific.  
Is possible?

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no simple solution here, it would require a custom implementation. But thanks for your feedback, we will consider this feature.
