About geospatial filtering

Result sets that have geocode properties can be sorted by the distance of the values of the geocode properties to a given reference point.

You can add properties to Endeca records that represent latitude and longitude pairs. These properties are known as geocode properties.

For example, if the records of a particular dataset represent individual books that a large vendor has for sale at a variety of locations, each book could be tagged with a geocode property named Location that holds the store location information for that particular book. Users could then filter the books to show only those books within a certain distance from their current location.

Note: Geospatial filtering is closely related to geospatial sorting.
