Introducing Gravity Search: Turn Gravity Forms Into Searchable Directories & Applications

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something I've been working on that I think may be useful for other Gravity Forms users.

Over the past year I've been rebuilding Gravity Geolocation on top of a brand-new framework, and one of the biggest additions is Gravity Search.

Gravity Search transforms Gravity Forms entries into a searchable application platform, making it possible to build business directories, store locators, member directories, customer portals, employee directories, and many other custom search experiences using your existing Gravity Forms data.

Instead of exporting entries or synchronizing data with another directory plugin, Gravity Search works directly with Gravity Forms entries, allowing you to search, filter, and display them using fully customizable layouts.

Some examples of what you can build

  • Business Directories
  • Store Locators
  • Member Directories
  • Customer Portals
  • Employee Directories
  • Property Listings
  • Resource Libraries
  • Internal Search Tools

Some of the features include

  • Search using virtually any Gravity Forms field
  • Advanced filtering with multiple field types
  • Proximity search with Google Maps
  • Interactive maps with marker clustering
  • Grid, list, table, and fully custom result layouts
  • Dedicated details pages for every entry
  • Support for multiple locations per entry
  • Sorting, pagination, AJAX loading, and responsive layouts

One of the primary goals was to keep everything native to Gravity Forms. If you're already collecting data with Gravity Forms, there's no additional database to maintain, no custom post types, and no data synchronization required.

I've also put together several demos showcasing different use cases:

If you'd like to learn more:

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are there any use cases you'd like to see demonstrated, or features that would make Gravity Search even more useful for your projects?

Thanks!
