Hi,
are there any plans to implement sorting by distance in the near future?
Without this feature app search would be no candidate for us.
Hey @bskade,
Check out our docs for proximity boosts: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/relevance-tuning-guide.html#relevance-tuning-guide-weights-and-boosts-boosts
It's not a literal "sort" where relevance score is completely ignored and results are sorted purely based on distance, but rather a "boost", meaning that distance (or proximity) is merely one factor in determining which results are shown first. If you tune the boost to be high enough, it could act like a pure sort.
Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
