<brief>Search for caches within specified bounding box</brief>
<issue-id>16</issue-id>
<desc>
<p>This method is similar to the search/all method, but the results
are restricted to the caches situated within a given bounding box
(a rectangle on the map).</p>
<p>Unless overriden, results are ordered by the distance from the center of the bounding
box. This means, that if you hit the limit of geocaches
returned, you will receive the ones that are in the middle of your
box, and miss the ones on the edges.</p>
<p>Usually you will want to use search_and_retrieve method instead of this one.
This way, you can get much more data in <b>one request</b>.</p>
</desc>
<req name='bbox'>
<p>The bounding box within to search for caches. The box is defined
by a string in "<b>S|W|N|E</b>" format, where:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>S</b> stands for southern edge latitude of the box,</li>
<li><b>W</b> stands for western edge longitude of the box,</li>
<li><b>N</b> stands for northern edge latitude of the box,</li>
<li><b>E</b> stands for eastern edge longitude of the box.</li>
</ul>
<p>Use positive numbers for latitudes in the northern hemisphere and
longitudes in the eastern hemisphere (and negative for southern and
western hemispheres accordingly). These are full degrees with a dot
as a decimal point (ex. "48.7|15.8|54|24.9").</p>
</req>
<opt name='location_source' default='default-coords'>
Same as in the <a href="%OKAPI:methodargref:services/caches/search/nearest#location_source%">
services/caches/search/nearest</a> method.
</opt>
<import-params method='services/caches/search/all'/>
<common-format-params/>
<returns>
<p>Same format as in the search/all method.</p>
