Filter search by closest results from the user position #58

Closed Booteille closed 4 years ago

Booteille commented 5 years ago

I think that would be useful to use the position given by the user when searching something on Qwant Map to get more accurate results about what the user could wants.

I am living in point A and told it as the reference position on Qwant Maps. I want to go to the closest bakery. So I type "bakery" on the destination field. The issue is that I get bakeries for things far away from my position and I have to add the name of the city where I want to go to get results from it.

Here are two screenshots to illustrate that. maps_issue_01 maps_issue_02

Thanks for this relevant feedback. Indeed, you are completely right ! We are currently working precisely on this feature: it should be released very soon, after non-regression tests.

Great to read that! Thanks!

Some improvements have been implemented and deployed recently about this issue.
Thanks to https://github.com/CanalTP/mimirsbrunn/pull/308 and https://github.com/QwantResearch/erdapfel/pull/291, queries that are typed while on zoom >= 11 will now favor closer results.

Other features are to come in order to handle generic queries (such as "Bakery") more conveniently. But this is not specific to this issue.
