Hello 👋

We're hoping to use App Search in our web app, but need Geo-Bounding Box Query for location filtering. Is adding support for **Geo-Bounding Box Query** on the roadmap of Enterprise App search?

Thanks!!

Ethan

Hi @Ethan_H!

There isn't currently anything in the backlog for a geo-bounding box query.

The best thing you might be able to do as a work-around is to use a normal [Geo-Filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/8.4/filters.html#filters-geo-filters) with a `center` and `distance` set big enough to encompass your geo-box and then process the results on your end to cut out anything outside of the box itself.

I hope that's helpful!

Best,  
Brian
