Why is the Searchbox element autocompleting addresses incorrectly?
Why is the Searchbox element autocompleting addresses incorrectly?
Updated over 10 months ago

We use Google’s Autocomplete API to automatically predict and complete address searches with the Searchbox element. We’ve found that this API can cause some unintended translations of street addresses when a language is set on the User data type. When the result of this search is saved as a text field, we often find that the address saved isn't consistent with what was entered.

To work around this, we recommend implementing address search using a third-party tool. You’ll want to take a look at our Plugin Marketplace for a plugin that suits your needs, or alternatively search for another third-party API that offers autocomplete functionality.
