Search Page

Adding query parameters to the base ParkWhiz url enables routing to pre-filtered search results.

Routing#

Changing the route allows for greater customization of what visual content is returned on the search page. Some query parameters will require the use of an additional route to function properly.

Destination Title#

To change the destination title within the location listing (i.e. the “Parking Near [Location]” title), add the route /destination/{name}, with name being a dash or space separated, capitalized phrase of your choice.

warning

Entirely lowercase titles separated with dashes will result in the page redirecting to a 404.
