Enquirers will be able to enter all enquiries onto the system and an initial search will be made against the information held. This will be in the form of a ‘Zone of Interest’ based on geographic information. Each Member will be able to define their own ‘Zone of Interest’ for the search to be made against, this varies from 25 metres to 250 metres either side of their apparatus.

If the proposed works are outside the  'Zones of Interest' an automatic response will be sent out to the enquirer advising them of this fact, there is also a print screen facility.

If, however, the work is within a ‘Zone of Interest’ then further details will be requested. The enquirer will be advised of the correct contact details and the additional information required, this will be dealt with directly by the Member concerned who will undertake the detailed search and will then be responsible for making the necessary responses to the enquirer.

Responses made to enquiries entered into Linesearch.org will only be valid for 28 days from the date they were originally entered. If the works are not completed within that time frame an additional search will have to undertaken to confirm that there has been no changes made to the apparatus designations since the original search was undertaken.
