Using Geo Location in Typesense Search Queries

TLDR GM is trying to use geo location in search queries using Typesense. Jason demonstrated the usage of an alias in the query and explained where to use it. However, GM has further questions on adding conditional searches.

const searchParameters = {
q: '*',
query_by: 'ADDRESS_CITY',
filter_by: 'COORDINATES:(' + latitude + ',' + longitude + ', ' + radious + ')',
sort_by: 'COORDINATES(' + latitude + ',' + longitude + '):asc',
};

const results = (await typesense.aliases('active-sites').retrieve()).name.search(searchParameters);
