Can I search for a location from an external form field?

I apologize ahead of time if I sound confusing.

But I was wondering if the Store Finder was capable of doing the following:

1. I would like to create a widget in the footer that allows someone to enter their zip code or address.
2. When they hit submit, the user is forwarded to a page with the [wpsl] shortcode.
3. This page will take the previously submitted address or zip code and perform a search with the store finder.

I imagine I’d first have to push whatever gets entered submitted from a form field to the Store Locator page. That’s not a problem.

But how would I be able to take that data and perform a search with the Store Finder when its page loads?

Other than that, I’ve been playing with the store finder and really well made! Thank you for providing this.
