Thanks for making this plugin, it is going to be of high interest to an education
community I am part of that provides faculty and students a free service (multisite)
to have their own blogs. The Google Map Geocoding API is a big step for setup, it
would be helpful to perhaps have a network setting for the API so users would not
have to bother. Or better yet, if they made use of Open Street Map, which has a 
geocoding API. One can dream and ask for the sky, right?

### 󠀁[Great tool for adding depth to Native/indigenous stories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tool-for-adding-depth-to-native-indigenous-stories/)󠁿

The Native Lands Search plugin is quick to set up, works flawlessly in the block
editor, is easily customized using its built-in settings and group or cover blocks,
and gives WordPress site owners a great way to expose visitors to key information
about Native an indigenous nations around the world. Alex, its developer, is fast,
friendly, and helpful, and knows WP inside and out. We use it to embed search functionality
throughout our magazine, and recommend it with all possible gusto.
