GeoJSON is a standardized format for encoding geographic data structures. Meilisearch supports GeoJSON through the `_geojson` field, allowing you to index complex shapes like polygons and multi-polygons in addition to simple point coordinates.

Use GeoJSON when your documents represent areas (neighborhoods, properties, delivery zones) rather than single points.

## Filtering and sorting with GeoJSON documents

Filtering works the same way with GeoJSON documents as with `_geo` documents. Add `_geo` to [`filterableAttributes`](/capabilities/filtering_sorting_faceting/getting_started), then use `_geoRadius`, `_geoBoundingBox`, or `_geoPolygon` in your search queries.
