# Search function – widget pack or cmap template?

 * I did the website for a Chamber of Commerce client and we’ve been using Connections
   on their site for many years. But we need to include the ability to search the
   directory to make it easier for the public to find businesses by a keyword search.
 * It appears that the Widget Pack has a search included? How does that differ from
   the search function included in the premium templates such as cMap?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * The search feature functions the same. I would recommend the cMap template over
   the Widget Pack if you are trying to decide between the two. But both can be 
   together if you want the widgets and the template.
 * I hope this helps; please let me know.

 * Awesome! Thanks very much for clarifying and I do tend to agree that cMap would
   be better.

 * I have a follow up question – I need to purchase cmap for two separate clients
   but it looks like I can’t get 2 separate licenses?

 * Since this is a presales support-related question, the contact page should be

 * The support forum mods may remove your question and this reply. Sorry, I should
   have mentioned this immediately in my first reply. Sorry for the trouble; I hope
   you understand.
 * To answer your question … to purchase the item twice, since quantities are not
   supported by the store, you will have to add the item to the cart, complete the
   purchase and then repeat the process by adding it to the cart and completing 
   the purchase a second time.
 * I hope this helps!
