Issue Description
Is there any way to restrict the GeoCoder to only search in, say, England and Ireland.
Steps to Replicate
Added to config/geocoder.php
return [
'cache-duration' => 999999999,
'providers' => [
Chain::class => [
GoogleMaps::class => [
'en-GB',
env('GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY'),
],
GeoPlugin::class => [],
],
],
'adapter' => Client::class,
];
Search 'York', returned Collection is:
#items: array:1 [▼
0 => GoogleAddress {#530 ▼
-id: "ChIJYYWuV8GLyIkRzRPyXur6rBo"
-locationType: "APPROXIMATE"
-resultType: array:2 [▶]
-formattedAddress: "York, PA, USA"
-streetAddress: null
-intersection: null
-political: "United States"

-country: Country {#537 ▼
-name: "United States"

}
-timezone: null

}
]
Where the desired/expected result would be York, UK
Stack Trace
N/A
You will need to consult the Google Maps docs, as well as the Geocoder plugin docs to see if this can be done. This package is more or less a wrapper on that package to tie it in closely to Laravel, and does not affect that functionality.
Some links that might shed some light:

My recommendation would be to ask this question in the geocoder-php repo:
https://github.com/geocoder-php/Geocoder/issues
Good luck! Let me know what you find out... it may be worth documenting somewhere.
