Hello List Not a question but more of a shout-out to some key QGIS users...
Thanks to the input of several QGIS users from the UK QGIS User Group (https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/113949150549951715823) there is now a gazetteer search plugin available that can basically search any suitably formatted PostGIS table via a web service. It is based on the QGIS Gazetteer Search plugin developed by Nathan Woodrow and Astun Technology and has been extended by Kevin Williams, Matt Travis, Simon Miles and others. They, and I, have got it searching several back office systems including local land and property gazetteers, local street gazetteers, planning applications, building warrants, listed buildings and a postcode table. It needs the QGIS Gazetteer Plugin installed (https://github.com/AstunTechnology/QGIS-Gazetteer-Plugin) and runs in QGIS 2.0 and you can find the basic instructions and some examples here: https://github.com/mixedbredie/qgis-gazetteer-search Certainly for our end users this is the killer plugin allowing them to complete the simple but crucial task of searching for an address. Now we just need to tweak it to search the OneScotlandGazetteer and zoom to the bounding box of line and polygon features... Hopefully this will be helpful to others - it has certainly helped me.
