[FEATURE] Adding Search by Location capability

[SandipPalit]

Description

It would be great if we can search for users based on their location. It will help us in connecting with like-minded persons around us.

If we could add location information to our profile in [CITY], [STATE], [COUNTRY]. format, then it can be integrated with the search engine.

Examples:

• Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
• Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
• Capital District, New York, United States.

Thanks, @ManishBisht777.

Yes, we can store the data in location :{ city:" ", state:" ", country:" " } format, and we can display it as city, state, country.

Work has started on this in a draft PR by @amandamartin-dev #3169

This is something we will be able to do after that PR has been completed and merged.

Is this issue available to work on? As the PR by Amanda has been merged.

This issue remains blocked as it is also waiting for: #4438
