Enhancement: Rectangular searches #299

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Coordinate and location searches return circles. Sometimes it would be nicer to 
have rectangles (for example, neighboring areas which don't need to overlap).

I can imagine two approaches:
(1) a new search type ("latlon" or so), but since GS doesn't support that, it 
would have to be mapped to a radius search and filtered
(2) add filters ("maxLatitude", "minLongitude", etc) - actually that would be 
required by (1) as well

Should be easy?? (Comments? Likes?)

Implemented as a filter (i.e. only limiting previously obtained search 
results). Make sure you use a search radius big enough for your rectangular 
area.
