Change Details

The Discovery team has added a geo-search option into CirrusSearch. This will allow our users to request Nearby results that fit a specific search term, which will significantly increase the value of our Nearby screen. (It's also rumored that the new geo-search supports a wider search radius) The most readily-attainable (and simplest) implementation of this feature in the Android app is the following: - In our existing Nearby screen, add a floating Search bar. - In the default case (when the search field is empty), the behavior is exactly the same as before. - When the user enters text into the search field, re-run the query using the new geo-search API, and display the results from that query. A couple useful resources to kick this off: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch#Geo_Search https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&maxlag=&generator=search&gsrsearch=museum%7Cnearcoord%3A37.77666667%2C-122.39
