Mapbox Search Integration

If you're adding Mapbox search to an app, this walks you through the whole process instead of dumping you straight into API docs. It starts with discovery questions to figure out what users are actually searching for (addresses, POIs, or both), then routes you to the right Mapbox product. The key insight here is that Search Box API is the default for almost everything interactive, while Geocoding API is really just for batch server-side work. It covers web (including React-specific patterns), iOS, and Android implementations. Honestly, the decision tree alone is worth it since Mapbox has multiple search products and the naming doesn't make the distinctions obvious.

Mapbox Search Integration Skill

Expert guidance for implementing Mapbox search functionality in applications. Covers the complete workflow from asking the right discovery questions, selecting the appropriate search product, to implementing production-ready integrations following best practices from the Mapbox search team.

Use This Skill When

User says things like:

  • "I need to add search to my map"
  • "I need a search bar for my mapping app"
  • "How do I implement location search?"
  • "I want users to search for places/addresses"
  • "I need geocoding in my application"

This skill complements mapbox-search-patterns:

  • mapbox-search-patterns = Tool and parameter selection
  • mapbox-search-integration = Complete implementation workflow

Discovery Phase: Ask the Right Questions

Before jumping into code, ask these questions to understand requirements:

Question 1: What are users searching for?
