Geographic Search Box retrieving value if not an address

[magazine]

Hi,

I realized, I am not able to save the search box value if it isnt a valid address. The searchbox’s value is empty.

For example, lets assume this is a valid address :123 fake street
I can save this value using searchbox’s value.
however if i enter fake street and nothing pops up, it determines that there is no value in the searchbox.

I hooked up the search box to googles geolocation api.

my solution is when a user types an address that isn’t being found by google api, i’ll popup a blank address form for them to manually enter the address. - even if it pulls up an address, i still pull the manual form up for them to edit it if needed:

Addressing Form

@pyli thank you for the suggestion!
