Filter results based on Geo-location field

[nicksav]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Adding support to filter based on location.

Describe the solution you'd like
As a minimum provide ability to filter results inside a rectangle - boundingBox

Additional context
I think filtering a key here. Yep, search is good, but filters, facets, geo search is highly required.

Hi @nicksav,
that would be a nice feature. Let me ping as soon as we assign it a priority in our roadmap.

Thanks!

@micheleriva these two features are also very useful in most of the modern apps:

1. Filter based on center geopoint and radius (Eg. to find restaurants nearby)
2. Sort results based on distance from a geopoint (Eg. to find restaurants nearby and sort based on nearest first)

Example from Typesense:

'filter_by' : 'location:(48.90615915923891, 2.3435897727061175, 5.1 km)',
'sort_by'   : 'location(48.853, 2.344):asc'

+1 for this, is there any update in prio?

[sreenath-n]

This is the only blocker for us to switch from Typesense to Orama Search.

+1 for this too

Hi y'all. Still to be prioritized, will update this issue as soon as we prioritize it!

We could also use this update, since it is the only thing that prevents us from implementing Orama in our Startup.

[micheleriva]

We're on it

This feature is available for preview in v2.0.0-beta.1. Has been implemented with #505. Please try it and give us some feedback! 🙂
