CKAN Mapsearch extension
ABOUT
Mapsearch is a CKAN-extension to add a scale-aware, map-centered search
to the CKAN spatial extension (ckanext-spatial).

FEATURES
Its main distinguishing factor is the scale-awareness of the
search-engine.
This scale-awareness lets you see how many results there are on 5
different scales for the same geographic area of interest, by using an
extra area field during indexing. see this paragraph below.

DEMO
see a working demo on bopen.eu.
