Add "view by location" feature to Search Records
After searching for someone in the search records part of the site, it would be really great if there were a "view by location" view for the records. For example, my ancestors largely stayed in the same region. So when I search for William Pitts, I know that anything around Carroll County, Georgia, is likely a match, but that also includes Cleburne County in Alabama, for instance, and other county names I'm not as familiar with. When I search for records for my ancestor, I have to stop and look up where each location in Alabama and Georgia are to see if they are close to the areas I'm interested in. FamilySearch already has the location dat from the location listed in the census/burial/etc., so a "view by location" feature would show pins in each county or city that is mentioned in a record.

Do you ever try the collections tab and limiting the search to those areas that way?
