This means new eDirectory sites can look more polished and professional without requiring extensive customization.

New Search Box (Type 2)

Make it easier for visitors to find exactly what they’re looking for.

The new Search Box (Type 2) widget gives you more ways to customize the search experience, including:

  • Featured listing categories
  • Customizable eyebrow text
  • Popular searches displayed directly below the search form

Featured categories can be selected directly from the Page Editor, giving you more control over what visitors discover first.

Browse by Location (Type 2)

Give visitors a better way to explore your directory by location.

The new Browse by Location (Type 2) widget lets you choose between grouped or flat layouts based on your location levels, with options to add listing counters, a “See All” link, banners, additional places, and expand / “+N more” options for each group. This gives you more flexibility to create location-based navigation that fits your site.

Editable Editorial Headers

Give your pages more context and personality.

Create clearer sections and give each part of your directory its own visual identity.

New Listing & Event Card Options

You now have more control over the information displayed in your cards.

Through Site Manager, you can choose whether listing and event cards show: Summary, Location, Summary + location.

For events, location information can also display the venue and locality, giving users more useful information at a glance.
