(1) Geographic Location - Click on one category from the tabs shown—global region, country, or state—and a dropdown will appear. You can start typing to narrow down the list. Click on the checkbox to add one or more options within that category. This means that if you choose to filter by country, for example, you can select one or multiple countries, but not from other categories like state, global region, or exact location.
(2) Exact Location - Begin typing in the address tab and select the exact or closest match from the suggestions that appear below. The default maximum distance is 250 miles, but you can adjust this to your preference, including switching from miles to kilometers. Once you're satisfied with your selection, click outside the box to apply it as a filter. If you already have an existing location filter, the new one will override it.
