Display and Search Logic

Search tool works like Google Maps:

Search tool has the same behaviour than Google Maps': it searchs by address, postcode, city...

By default, Shop Finder is not showing any results. Users will have to perform a search first, in order to view Shop Finder results.

In order to perform the search, users will have to do the following:

1. Type the address: When user types the address a dropdown list will be displayed and user has to select one of them.

2. Choose 'Product': Users must select one product category from the list.

2. Choose the ratio: It's the search area.

3. Press 'Search': The closest results will be shown.

 When users perform a search, a list of shops will appear on the left of the screen depending on the users search criteria. The information displayed for each one is the following:

• Shop's name
• Postcode & city
• Branches: A button named 'View branches' will appear if Shop has any.  
• Logo: Shop's logo

Branches

When user clicks on 'View branches' (if selected shop has any) a pop up window will appear where all shops branches will be shown with its contact details. If user selects one branch, that branch will be highlighted on the map and its contact details will appear.
