What are geofiltered indexes used for?

Geofiltering indexes are used for efficient searching and filtering of data based on geographic location. They allow quickly finding objects within a certain geographic area (for example, within a radius from a point, inside a polygon, etc.), which significantly speeds up queries to spatial databases.

For example, in map applications or delivery services, geofiltering indexes enable fast filtering of the nearest objects to the user without scanning the entire database.
