Default or Advanced Search Options?
In most cases the default search options will help you find a hotspot in the location that you are visiting.
In general, it is only worth using the advanced search criteria if you know the address of the particular location you are visiting.
Please note that if a very specific search does not find any Hotspots, you may need to be less specific.
Broad or Narrow Search?
To display more Hotspot results, use a broad search with fewer criteria. For example, specify only the town or city, or just the country you are visiting.
To narrow the search, use more of the search criteria. This will result in less Hotspots being displayed, but will match your requirements more exactly. For example, you can search only for hotels in the town that you will be visiting.
Use the Town/City field to search for Hotspots in a particular town or city. You will only need to specify a country as well if the same town or city is present in more than one country.
The Country and Location type are set to ‘Any’ by default. To find all the Hotspots available in a particular country, select the country that you are interested in from the drop-down menu, and leave all the other search criteria blank.
Searching in Text Fields
The Hotspots database is not ‘case sensitive’, so searching for London, london or LONDON will always show the same results.
You can also use shortened versions of the terms for which you are searching. This only applies to beginnings of terms, e.g.:
- Searching for ‘Lon’ or ‘lon’ will find towns such as London, Londonderry etc.
- Searching for ‘Don’ or ‘don’ will not find towns such as London, but will find all towns beginning with these three letters, e.g. Doncaster.
