[1. Suggestions]

Hi guys, I am glad to introduce our new version of online search system. It consists of two main sections:

1. Suggestions

• Provides 4 main types of suggestions (Historical searches, Categories, Pois and Places)
• Historical searches are available for both logged in and not logged in users and each item can be deleted by trash icon.
• Click on category navigates to Results above map section.
• If user is not satisfied with suggestions and exact term is already typed, pressing search icon on keyboard navigates also to Results above map.

2. Results above map

• Shows items from previously selected category or results by exact term.
• In case of category, results are reloaded automatically by map movement, otherwise Search this area button is available.
• First visible item in result list is highlighted on map.

Regarding implementation - tree of four "segments" are in house built from scratch, and can be somehow "fixed", or "adjusted". These are history, category, point of interest. Category search is based on language specific dictionaries written by some of the Locus community translators. (Thanks again!). These can also be adjusted or even build for new languages - currently EN, DE, CS, PL, IT is supported, other languages just work in the very bare bone sense. For places (towns, cities, villages, admin. boundaries, streets, street numbers), some third party service is used. There is rather slim chance we can "fix" it, unfortunately.

New online search is available from version 4.16.0.2 (http://bit.ly/lmVersionsTest). Thank you in advance for all feedback!
