# @see http://dev.twitter.com/pages/geo_dev_guidelines Twitter Geo Developer Guidelines
module Geo
# Search for places that can be attached to a {Twitter::Client::Tweets#update}.
# Given a latitude and a longitude pair, an IP address, or a name, this request
# will return a list of all the valid places that can be used as the place_id
# when updating a status.
#
# @formats :json
# @authenticated false
# @rate_limited true
# @param options [Hash] A customizable set of options.
# @option options [Float] :lat The latitude to search around. This option will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there isn't a corresponding :long option.
# @option options [Float] :long The longitude to search around. The valid ranges for longitude is -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This option will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is disabled, or if there not a corresponding :lat option.
# @option options [String] :query Free-form text to match against while executing a geo-based query, best suited for finding nearby locations by name.
# @option options [String] :ip An IP address. Used when attempting to fix geolocation based off of the user's IP address.
# @option options [String] :granularity This is the minimal granularity of place types to return and must be one of: 'poi', 'neighborhood', 'city', 'admin' or 'country'. If no granularity is provided for the request neighborhood is assumed.
# @option options [String] :accuracy A hint on the "region" in which to search. If a number, then this is a radius in meters, but it can also take a string that is suffixed with ft to specify feet. If this is not passed in, then it is assumed to be 0m. If coming from a device, in practice, this value is whatever accuracy the device has measuring its location (whether it be coming from a GPS, WiFi triangulation, etc.).
# @option options [Integer] :max_results A hint as to the number of results to return. This does not guarantee that the number of results returned will equal max_results, but instead informs how many "nearby" results to return. Ideally, only pass in the number of places you intend to display to the user here.
# @option options [String] :contained_within This is the place_id which you would like to restrict the search results to. Setting this value means only places within the given place_id will be found.
# @option options [String] :"attribute:street_address" This option searches for places which have this given street address. There are other well-known, and application specific attributes available. Custom attributes are also permitted.
# @return [Array]
# @see http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/geo/search
