Search allows users to convert textual location information, such as addresses or place names, into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). This process, known as forward geocoding, is essential for various applications, including mapping, navigation, and location-based services.

With a geocoding search feature, users can input an address or place name, and the system will return the corresponding geographic coordinates. This enables users to visualize locations on a map, perform spatial analysis, and integrate location data into their applications1. Additionally, geocoding search can handle different types of input data, from simple street addresses to more complex descriptions like landmarks or postal codes.

Overall, a geocoding search feature enhances the usability and functionality of location-based services by providing accurate and efficient conversion of textual location information into geographic coordinates.
