Perfect! Thanks. Follow up...If I wanted to filter just by cities and group them so my 10 meetings in Beverly Hills just appears as on listing for Beverly Hills how would I do that with the "set params = " syntax?

I'm not sure I follow. You may want to [ask a new question](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) and go into a bit more detail.

<p>I have entries using the Smart Map address field. I need to get just the entries that have a combination of city and state (city = &quot;Beverly Hills&quot; AND state = &quot;CA&quot;). I am currently only trying to get simpler search state working and only then will I move to state/city. I can get a &quot;fuzzy&quot; that to my understanding will get everything that has &quot;CA&quot; in any of the fields using:</p>
<pre><code>{% set meetings = craft.entries.section('meetings').search('address:' ~ 'CA') %}
</code></pre>
<p>But I want to understand how to create a more specific search that specifically finds 'CA' in address.state.</p>
<p>When I try:</p>
<pre><code>{% set meetings = craft.entries.section('meetings').search('address.state:' ~ 'CA') %}
</code></pre>
<p>the search returns nothing. No errors either.</p>

# Smart Map - How to search by a field in address?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-17)

I have entries using the Smart Map address field. I need to get just the entries that have a combination of city and state (city = "Beverly Hills" AND state = "CA"). I am currently only trying to get simpler search state working and only then will I move to state/city. I can get a "fuzzy" that to my understanding will get everything that has "CA" in any of the fields using:
{% set meetings = craft.entries.section('meetings').search('address:' ~ 'CA') %}

But I want to understand how to create a more specific search that specifically finds 'CA' in address.state.
When I try:
{% set meetings = craft.entries.section('meetings').search('address.state:' ~ 'CA') %}

the search returns nothing. No errors either.
Questions:

How do I search specifically in a field like address.state?
Extending this question, how do I search address.state AND address.city?

It's more "filtering" than "searching", but take a look at this...

Filtering entries by subfield value

Set a filter parameter when creating your element criteria model...
{% set params = {
    filter: {
        city: 'Beverly Hills',
        state: 'CA'
    }
} %}

{% set meetings = craft.entries.address(params) %}
