Geohash Prefix Filter for Nostr Relays

Current Nostr relays can’t efficiently query hierarchical or spatial data like geohashes. This limits map applications that need to find events by region and zoom depth. The proposed solution adds geohash prefix filtering using a caret (^) operator. The prefix concept could also extend to other structured tags, such as dates, to support broader hierarchical queries.
