We are currently working on a site where we need to restrict Photon Autocomplete results to specific region in Switzerland.
Accept an extra text to attach to Drupal settings.
An additional field is added to Photon settings (field settings and views proximity filter). If the field is not empty it is then added after the requested term before requesting photon api.

christianadamski commentedNot a big fan of this. How about using bias?
Go to https://github.com/komoot/photon and search for "Bias".

drupixTell me if I'm wrong but there is nothing in code about
location_bias_scale...For me the "Search extra value" is optional and meant to add limitation in results returned by the autocomplete field.
For example if I'm typing "vev" in autocomplete, I don't want that appears results from Germany or Czechoslovakia but only from Switzerland or any "Search extra value" set. With this example if I set "Vaud Switzerland" in "Search extra value", while I'm typing "vev" in autocomplete the photon API search for "q=vev Vaud Switzerland" and I'm getting only results in this particular region (Vaud) in Switzerland.
Just leaving "Search extra value" empty gives the default behavior.
Maybe I'm missing something...

christianadamski commentedBias is not implemented yet. But so far I would prefer it to simply adding words to the query, invisible to the user.
What's your opinion?
Comment #6
drupixThis is the case with the patch, the "Search extra value" is not visible by the user.
If you open the debugger tools of your browser and go under the Network tab you can see the "extra value" added to the query while typing text in the autocomplete field, nothing else...

christianadamski commentedAdded the bounding box parameter for photon in 4.x. Version 3 is slowly winding down and will not be handled anymore for this.
