# OpenLayers: Autocomplete Geosearch Tutorial
## OpenCage Geosearch OpenLayers: Autocomplete Tutorial
Tutorial for implementing OpenLayers: Autocomplete with the OpenCage Geosearch service - Worldwide location autosuggest based on open data.
## Adding a Geosearch control to an OpenLayers map
[OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/) is a powerful open source library to add maps to a website. Below is an example HTML page and map that includes an [OpenCage Geosearch](https://opencagedata.com/geosearch) control to allow users to search for locations (cities, states, villages, etc) and then re-center the map on a selected location.
For details on how to control the map (set position, zoom, listen to events, add map markers, or set a different style) see the [OpenLayers quick tutorial](https://openlayers.org/doc/quickstart.html) and [reference](https://openlayers.org/doc/) documentation.
For details on how to configure the Geosearch control (number of results, language, or country filters) see the [geosearch](https://github.com/OpenCageData/geosearch/#readme) documentation. Changing the layout (fonts, colors) is explained on the [algolia autocomplete theming](https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/api-reference/autocomplete-theme-classic/#css-variables) reference guide.
