    providing, by the one or more processors, the search request and the first geospatial search region to a search server;

    receiving, by the one or more processors, first search results from the search server, the first search results being responsive to the search request and being based on the first geospatial search region;

    displaying, by the one or more processors, the first search results;

    detecting, by the one or more processors, a change in the current view;

    in response to detecting the change, (i) generating a second geospatial search region based on the changed current view, and (ii) automatically providing by the one or more processors, the second geospatial search region and the stored search request to the search server;

    receiving, by the one or more processors, second search results from the search server, the second search results being responsive to the search request and being based on the second geospatial search region; and
