# geo_boundary_search

> Search geographic boundaries (regional neighborhoods, neighborhoods, subdivisions) by name.

<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/geo-boundaries/geo_boundary_search -->

```text
Search geographic boundaries (regional neighborhoods, neighborhoods, subdivisions) by name. Returns id, kind, name, centroid, and bbox for each match. Useful when the user asks about a named place ("show me The Northwest", "what neighborhood is this in"). Pass the returned id to listings_list as boundary_id to filter listings to the polygon. Results are ordered by kind priority (regional > neighborhood > subdivision) then text-search relevance — so a search for "northwest" surfaces "The Northwest" (regional) above any subdivision with that word in its name.
```
