Geo-Search Distance Between Filter and Result

[FutureBuddha]

Describe your feature request

I would like to propose an enhancement to the geo-coordinates search functionality in Weaviate. It would be highly beneficial to have the capability to retrieve the distance between the input coordinates and each result within the search outcomes. This feature could provide significant value by enabling users to gauge the proximity of each search result relative to the specified location.

A potential method to achieve this could involve calculating the Euclidean distance. While this approach may offer the fastest computation, it might not deliver the highest accuracy due to its simplification of Earth's curvature. However, even a basic implementation of this feature could substantially enhance the utility of geo-search by providing immediate distance context for each result.

Implementing such a feature could simplify user workflows and add a new layer of functionality to the geo-search feature, making it not only more informative but also more practical for a wide range of applications.
