Geocoding search results closer to specific point

To enhance search results, the geocoding control prioritizes locations that are closer to a specific geographical point. By utilizing the proximity options in the control constructor, results near the provided point are ranked higher. The geographical point is defined by its latitude and longitude [lat, lng]. For a complete list of geocoding control options, refer to the Geocoding control’s reference documentation. In the given example, we aim to prioritize results that are near Times Square in New York (e.g., “Park Avenue”).
