Google Map Search returning the same locations

I am searching through an input box, for example if i put "best buy in 28314" i want it to search for a best buy in zip code 28314 like it does if you were to do it from google maps from your phone. Because it is set to address i am getting a central location for the zip code 28314.

Google Map Search returning the same locations

I dont want it set to a specific zip code. I want it to search to any location entered, especially if a zip code is not entered. Like best buy in fayetteville, nc or best buy in 28314.. it points to the best buy location instead of the center of fayetteville, nc.

Google Map Search returning the same locations

Hi Teneika,

You are using Google maps Geocoding service for obtain results. This is an external service and does not under our control and support.

So it's basically out of scope for our support.

You can try to find answer yourself, read documentation for this service.
Also we can suggest you to read information about this external service:
