花了两天的时间来用Google的API来做这么一个小东西,其实真正的实现代码不是很多,十几行而已。费时间的工作是了解各个API的功能以及调试JavaScript。
下面简单介绍一下这次我用到的几个函数吧。
•构造函数google.search.LocalSearch()
这其实是创建了一个LocalSearch的Service,这个Service和其他Service(News, Blog, Web)一样,是供SearchControl使用的。这些Service决定了SearchControl的能力。
•设置LocalSearch的搜索结构类型
localSearch.setRestriction(google.search.Search.RESTRICT_TYPE, google.search.LocalSearch.TYPE_KMLONLY_RESULTS)
这说明搜索的结果没有business的结果,只有kml和geocode结果
•设置LocalSearch的搜索范围
localSearch.setCenterPoint("北京");
•google.search.SearcherOptions()
设置Search Service(Searcher)的属性,作为SearchControl.addSearcher()的一个属性使用,有以下选项可以选择:
1.设置结果的显示方式
•searcherOptions.setExpandMode(google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN);
2. 设置档没有搜索结果时显示的文字
• searcherOptions.setNoResultsString(google.search.SearchControl.NO_RESULTS_DEFAULT_STRING);
3. 设置结果显示的位置
•searcherOptions.setRoot(resultCanvas);
•new google.search.DrawOptions();
设置Google Search Control的显示方式
•drawOptions.setDrawMode(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED)
设置显示方式为tabbed方式,即各个Searcher像tabs一样显示
•drawOptions.setInput(document.getElementById("input"));
将搜索输入框的默认值改为用户自定义的一个输入框
将用户选择搜索结果作为一个相应的GResult对象返回,如LocalSearch的GResult就是一个GLocalResult。
这个选项费了我很长时间才找到,原因有二,一是用的人少,文档少。二是我看的英文文档,花了挺长时间才看明白,其实看中文文档要花的时间更长,我觉得。
•searchControl.setOnKeepCallback(this, LocalSearchKeepHandler);
顺便贴上LocalSearchKeepHandler的代码,其参数为自动返回的那个GResult对象。
function LocalSearchKeepHandler(result) {
var from = document.getElementById("from");
alert("result.tilte = " + result.title);
from.value = ProcessString(result.title);
alert("from.value = " + from.value);
// alert(result.title);
}
干脆把这段代码整体贴出,方便阅读
google.load("search", "1", {"language": "zh-CN"});
function initialize() {
//LocalSearch Object used to create a local search service for the maps
var localSearch = new google.search.LocalSearch();
//restrict the local search resutls to kml and geocode results only, no business ones
localSearch.setRestriction(google.search.Search.RESTRICT_TYPE, google.search.LocalSearch.TYPE_KMLONLY_RESULTS);
// Set the Local Search center point
localSearch.setCenterPoint("北京");
//It's about local search, which are used to set where the results will appear, a param of options
var resultCanvas = document.getElementById("resultCanvas");
//options: open, alternate root
var searcherOptions = new google.search.SearcherOptions();
//show many results
searcherOptions.setExpandMode(google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN);
//no results message
searcherOptions.setNoResultsString(google.search.SearchControl.NO_RESULTS_DEFAULT_STRING);
//options.setDrawMode(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED);//web, local... in a tab show
searcherOptions.setRoot(resultCanvas); //show the results in another place--<div id="resultCanvas">
//SearchControl Object used to create a search service which will include a local search service
var searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl(null);
searchControl.addSearcher(localSearch, searcherOptions);
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.WebSearch());
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.NewsSearch());
searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.BlogSearch());
//draw options and set it to a tabbed view,
var drawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
drawOptions.setDrawMode(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED)
//make the searchControl return a result:GResult
searchControl.setOnKeepCallback(this, LocalSearchKeepHandler);//keeping a search result
//this option is used to set the search box position in a DOM tree.
//drawOptions.setSearchFormRoot(document.getElementById("drawOptions"));
//set the input box to a user defined element
//drawOptions.setInput(document.getElementById("input"));
// tell the search box to draw itself and tell it where to attach
// searchControl.draw(document.getElementById("searchBox"), drawOptions);//Here I changed fromaddress and toaddress to search, a new place
//another user defined input box
drawOptions.setInput(document.getElementById("input2"));
searchControl.draw();
/** The codes below is about google Ajax Map Search API
//this code segment is used to add a sidebar to show the results of the search
//I wonder why no 'var' exists here
optinos = new Object();
options.resultList = resultCanvas;
options.resultFormat = "multi-line1";
var lsc2 = new google.elements.LocalSearch(options);
map.addControl(lsc2, new GControlPosition(G_ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT, new GSize(-282, -2)));

google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
