Imagine the search bar in Google Maps. I want to recreate that in Adalo. I have a google maps API key but unable to figure out how to get my search bar to start responding to the API by showing a list of places based on the text I type in it.
Found this thread from earlier which didn’t provide any answer - Autofill search bar with Google Maps locations
Hi Nikhil,
Welcome to the community
Not sure about the API but I think Adalo is building this feature :
This feature is being developed and is not available in Adalo yet.
As a part of our Location work, we’re adding the ability for users to search for an address with autocomplete and save it using a form. The results will be powered by Google.

Stay up to date by visiting our changelog .
And Complab also created a component for this that maybe you can use until Adalo release that feature :

Thank you
Thanks Dilon. The Complab option is a bit too expensive for me. Will wait for the Adalo feature. In the meanwhile, do you know of any work around that I could use?

To recreate the Google Maps search bar functionality in Adalo, you can use the Google Places API with the API key you have to fetch and display a list of places and location based on the text entered into the search bar.
