Geo Intersects Editor

Editor for a geographic intersection filter condition in the Filter Editor.

Remarks

The GeoIntersects Editor is a UI component in the Filter Editor control, designed to let users define and edit a geographic intersection condition for filtering search results. It is used to restrict search results to items whose geographic field value intersects a user-defined polygonal region.

Purpose and Functionality

The GeoIntersects Editor enables users to:

• Select a geographic field (of type Edm.GeographyPoint) from the available filterable fields.
• Enter a polygon as a comma-separated list of latitude/longitude pairs to define the region of interest.
• View tooltips for guidance on entering polygon coordinates.
• Remove the condition using the {Delete} button.

The editor ensures that only valid geographic fields can be selected and provides contextual tooltips to assist with correct data entry. The polygon must be well-formed and use the same coordinate system as the field values.

Example

The following diagram illustrates the typical layout of the GeoIntersects Editor:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ {Field Selector}   {Polygon Input}            {Delete} │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

• {Field Selector}: Dropdown to choose the geographic field.
• {Polygon Input}: Input for the polygon coordinates (e.g., 35.4676 -97.5164, 35.5 -97.5, 35.4 -97.4).
• {Delete}: Button to remove this condition.
• Tooltip area provides context for entering valid polygon values.

Usage Guidance

• Use the GeoIntersects Editor to add, edit, or remove spatial intersection filter conditions in the search builder.
• Tooltips provide instructions for entering polygon coordinates.
• Only fields of type Edm.GeographyPoint are available for selection.
• Removing a condition is done by clicking the {Delete} button.

For more information on spatial filtering, see the documentation for Search Page and Filter Editor.
