Description

enhancement strapi-plugins

Description

The current search functionality within the Strapi plugin lacks support for location-based searches. To address this deficiency, it's imperative to incorporate location-based search capabilities into the strapi-plugin. The schema required for enabling location-based search can be found here.

There are two types of searches that need to be considered:

  1. String-Based Search: This type of search is based on string values and can include any of the following criteria:

    • City
    • District
    • State
    • Country
    • Area Code

  2. GPS-Based Search: This involves using GPS coordinates to define a search area, typically represented by a circle. However, for this particular issue, we will focus solely on implementing search functionality based on string values.

This issue is specifically to target GPS-Based Search.
