Re: Searching geographical area with bbox: no results, but photos exist

I will update the docs on this one, shortly, because it's come up before but
:

Geo queries require some sort of limiting agent in order to prevent the
database from crying. This is basically like the check against
"parameterless searches" for queries without a geo component.

A tag, for instance, is considered a limiting agent as are user defined
min_date_taken and min_date_upload parameters.

If no limiting factor is passed we return only photos added in the last 12
hours, though we may (likely) extend the limit for geo queries.

Apologies for the confusion.
