Search

The application may want to search on the map for, say, a specific city. The library provides capabilities exactly for that.

Method Map::search takes the search query and optionally center point of the search. The method returns a shared pointer to SearchTask, which will be filled by the results, when it finishes.

Field SearchTask::done will be set to true once the results are available. Afterwards, vector SearchTask::results contains multiple structures SearchItem, of which the fields SearchItem::title, SearchItem::region and SearchItem::distance are most descriptive of the individual results. It also contains SearchItem::position and SearchItem::radius which may be used to directly jump to the destionation.

The complete, unprocessed answer from the server is available in the SearchItem::json.
