Post Search docs mentions seemingly non-functional has_location parameter

[rrbrambley]

From the docs:

has_location Optional int (0 or 1) Only include posts containing geo coordinates, i.e., tagged with the net.app.core.location annotation

I've tried a bunch of queries with this parameter and I can never get any posts to be returned. Furthermore, I cannot find any documentation on the net.app.core.location annotation.

I was guessing that this might have been a typo and that the param is actually has_geolocation, but that doesn't seem to work either. So perhaps your server recognizes has_location, and then literally does look for that net.app.core.location annotation, which always yields 0 results because no such annotation exists on any posts?

Isn’t the annotation actually geolocation? docs

@cdn that is an annotation, and that's exactly what I was alluding to – they might not be returning search results for the correct annotation.

As a workaround /stream/0/posts/search?include_annotations=1&annotation_types=net.app.core.geolocation works while /stream/0/posts/search?include_annotations=1&has_location=1 fails by returning no posts at all.

Thanks for pointing this one out. We've rolled out a fix for it.

@mxml-barmstrong The docs still reference a net.app.core.location annotation.

Oh, oops, that is supposed to say net.app.core.geolocation.
