Geocoder Bounds

[MrMaksimize]

@jgravois hoping you can add in just one more thing. I want to see if we can make the geocoder auto-suggest only include the areas within the city of san diego, or at least a bounding box.

i'm actually really fond of the default behavior of the plugin, which is to use the current bounding box of the map automatically to filter results when folks are zoomed in tight (level 12 and higher) and stop filtering altogether when folks are zoomed further out.

if you prefer, you could also always filter by the current extent of the map like this:

var searchControl = L.esri.Geocoding.geosearch({
  useMapBounds: true  // instead of 12
}).addTo(map);

if you'd rather create a static bounding box around San Diego and use that to filter results, use the searchBounds constructor option, which expects an instance of L.latLngBounds (more info here).

Ohhhh interesting.

In my personal opinion, I totally agree with you. And I like the functionality quiet a lot. However, based on some of the user feedback we've seen, I'm thinking a static bounding box would be best. I could definitely see people being confused on the geocoder not autocompleting an address when they're zoomed into a location.
