Why can't geospatial indexes cover a query?

Hello,

Reading the documentation on covered queries, I see that “Geospatial indexes cannot cover a query.”

Why is that no possible?

Hi @Omer_Toraman1 ,

Although I don’t know the official technical limitation, I assume that the way this index index the data it does not allow to store the raw data sets of the indexed fields , therefore just the index cannot setisfy a covered query and documents needs to be accessed.

Maybe I am missing the point and someone more expert can correct me.

Thanks
Pavel
