Locus Map Lite offers an online search of places, addresses, and categories of LoPoints.

===== Autocomplete =====
Clicking the search button will bring up a **predefined list of categories** of places that may be most useful to the typical outdoor fan.\\ {{ :manual:ios26.jpg?nolink |}}  

So if you’re not looking for a particular place, you can choose from the list. If you’re looking for a category that’s not in the initial list, type it into the **search box**, and the Locus autocomplete will offer it to you in a flash.\\ {{ :manual:ios27.jpg?nolink |}}

Tap on a category and all the places in it will be **highlighted on the map**. As you scroll the map, the next points in the category will load automatically. In the bottom panel, the locations are sorted in a list that you can slide out to the full page and browse locations by name. The first item at the top is highlighted on the map:\\ {{ :manual:ios28.jpg?nolink |}} 

If you’re looking for a **specific place or an address**, start typing your query in the search box. As soon as you enter the first letters of your query, Locus already **suggests relevant categories and places** you searched for earlier. It tries to guess what you are looking for and continuously offers other options containing the given character string:\\ {{ :manual:ios30.jpg?nolink |}}

The choices are offered until you click on something or until you complete your search query.

===== Text search =====

If you don’t make a selection in the autocomplete and click on the "Open" button on the keyboard, Locus starts **searching according to the specified string**, even in areas that the search engine hasn’t offered before.\\ {{ :manual:ios29.png?nolink |}}

The results are displayed in order of importance and sorted in a list below the map. The panel can be enlarged to full screen and browsed again. You can specify the search area by clicking on **Search this area**:\\ {{ :manual:ios33.jpg?nolink |}}

If you move the map elsewhere or zoom out, you can again **change the search area by clicking on the button** (the results are not automatically loaded on the map in this case).

===== Search results =====

When you tap on the specific place you found on the map or in the list, the object is centered on the map, and its detailed information is displayed in the panel below the map.\\ {{ :manual:ios31.jpg?nolink |}}

Use the left arrow on the panel to return to the search, or slide the panel down to end the search.

===== History =====

Your previously searched queries are offered to you in the autocomplete in preference to point categories:\\ {{ :manual:ios32.jpg?nolink |}}

If you no longer use the search items, you can simply delete them from the history with {{:manual:user_guide:ic_delete_alt.png?nolink&20|}}.
