Autocomplete with Bias Point

This demo shows how to use a focus.point.lat and focus.point.lon bias when performing an autocomplete search.

Results will be biased toward the focus point, but still return matches on the full index.

focus.point.lat and focus.point.lon define a latitude and longitude coordinate. Pelias uses this point to calculate proximity and apply a "boost" to nearby results, making them appear higher in the search ranking.

This helps resolve ambiguities in feature names. For example, searching for “McDonalds” without a focus point may return a geographically broad list of locations. If the focus point is set in Rio de Janeiro, McDonalds locations in Rio will be prioritized at the top of the results.
