Key searching works in a similar way to Single Line searching: the user types in the search term, and Pro API returns the address that matches the search in the picklist.
Key Searching can only be used with certain datasets that contain a logical reverse search key, for example:
- United Kingdom with Gas contains a Meter Number (MPRN).
- United Kingdom with Land and Property Gazetteer (LPG) contains a Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN).
- United States with Names contains US telephone numbers.
Pro API enables users to search on a key search term. For example:
1200932587643 (Electricity Meter Number)
6177911428 (US telephone number)
When users submit a search, each component of the entered information becomes a subject of the search. Telephone numbers undergo pre-processing to allow a variety of formats to be searched on successfully.
