This plugin extends the standard query functionality of a content management system to include geographical data, enabling location-aware searches. It is designed for site owners who need to connect content with physical places, such as listing local events, businesses, or properties.

• Geo-Enabled Queries: Integrates a geo_query parameter into the standard post query system, allowing you to search for posts within a specified radius of a given address or coordinates.
• Distance Calculations and Display: Automatically calculates the distance between the search location and each post. Provides template functions to display human-readable distance information (e.g., "About 5 miles away") to site visitors.
• Flexible Data Input: Works with custom fields named latitude and longitude. You can populate this coordinate data manually, through a custom meta box, or automatically via integration with other custom field plugins.
• Geocoding Service: Converts user-entered location names (like "London") into geographic coordinates using a third-party service, though this can be replaced with a paid alternative for high-volume sites.
• Sort and Filter: Results can be ordered by proximity, and searches can be limited to a specific radius, measured in either miles or kilometers.
