What’s included in Virtual Earth?
Virtual earth map offers its users map and relevant data. Map based searching always needs the capability to search relevant data. By using Virtual Earth map control, users can build a map based search system. It also has the ability of displaying map. With the help of this map control, users are able to get four methods to make any search effectively. Now we will discuss these four methods in detail way. The first method is at local.live.com; you can observe two controls like what and where search boxes. You should turn on these two controls by inserting 1 line of JavaScript code. When you turn on these two controls, you can do your search effectively and easily.
The second method is making use of FindLocation (). With this method, you are able to search a location. Third method is using FindNearBy method that can make ‘What “search to search any business that is located near the center of map. Using Find () method has the ability to provide you control at your search. You are able to obtain the search results in the function of JavaScript callback.
By making use of any of this Find method, users can build a map based search program that includes all of the features. To turn on two controls like what and where is an easy way of leveraging the Find functionality? In where search box, when you will type address and click on find, the map will re-center on your location that you typed automatically. When anyone types the information in what search box, it will automatically give him or her wonderful set of pushpins. This set of pushpins will match with the yellow pages search for searched information.
Some drawbacks are there of using these two search boxes as such control is very wide hence, our map size has to be 635 pixels to display the full control at map.

You also have to make some changes in Do Find () method. You can use another search function by uniting both the methods like FindLocation as well as FindNearby searches into single search method. This combined method also provides you fast search results.
