Search Plugin issues

[konomikitten]

I thought I'd just leave this here in case anyone else gets caught up on this problem. If you find the search plugin isn't working for you despite doing "everything right" and you see an error in the console like this:

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "properties", b.feature is undefined

What's happening is that the attribute/property isn't being set on one or more of your markers. For example if you're using:

folium.plugins.Search(layer=fg, search_label="title")

And then setting markers like so:

folium.Marker(location=[c.CurrentLatitude, c.CurrentLongitude],
    tooltip=tooltip, icon=folium.Icon(**icon), title=title)

If the value of title ends up being unset or an empty string then the title attribute will not exist on the marker in the subsequent html leading to the JavaScript exception. So make sure that when you set title you have a value.
