Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to determining a minimum search region with a threshold number of entities within the minimum search region. In some embodiments, a system selects, based on a location of a user device, a first region, where the location of the device is at a center of the first region. The system executes, based on the first region, a query on a database storing entity locations. The system increases the first region by a specified amount to generate a second search region, where the increasing is based on determining that entities returned by the first query does not satisfy an entity threshold requirement. The system executes, based on the second region, a second query on the database. In response to the second query returning a number of entities that satisfy the threshold requirement, the system causes display, at the device, of the entities returned by the second query.
