 Reporter:  komzpa         |      Owner:  komzpa
     Type:  defect         |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  medium         |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.1.0
Component:  documentation  |    Version:  master
 Keywords:                 |
---------------------------+---------------------------
 User struggled writing a point-in-polygon query. Initial google search was
 "postgres select points by extent". It brought user to ST_Extent, and
 later ST_Within.

 Instead:
  - it should have brought user to && which should say word "extent" more
  - ST_Extent should have example to &&
  - && should recommend checking if ST_Intersects is fine too
