Abstract
A method to perform an indexed geospatial search includes retrieving, by at least one hardware processor, a query specifying a geography data column and a constant geography object. A first plurality of hash functions of a first set of cells covering a surface associated with the geography data column is determined. A search index of a database including the geography data column is updated based on the first plurality of hash functions to obtain an updated search index. The query is executed on a reduced scan set of the database. The reduced scan set is based on the updated search index.
