Let them know in this thread if you prefer radio buttons or dropdown.

They haven’t been able to implement a search by place and zipcode. If you think it is a high priority, please post here.

Here is the official word:

Hey There! nice to meet you!

My name is Marcos, I’m helping Jared and Drew in the visualization team. I’m the person currently responsible for Geolocator 3.

First of all, thanks a ton everyone for all the feeback you sent here:
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5177073&page=1

Since then, there’s been a ton of updates and bug fixes in the background based on your feedback.

Basically here’s what happened:

* added search selection for materials, tags and sellers.
* fixed image flickering bugs
* added timeout for images not loading
* added deep linking / browser back button ability

So I’ve prepared 2 flavours for search selection, please let me know which one you think is more elegant:

*radiobuttons

*dropdown

The only one thing I couldn’t implement was being able to search for a place name / zip code. Sorry!!!

Unfortunately that’s a deeper database issue we need to sort out first. If you want to see it happening (I know most of you do, and I want it too), please drop a line in the comments here. Maybe we can get our DB engineers to re prioritize that request!
