Flickr considers all given search arguments together, including location criteria such as bbox and accuracy, and returns the best matching photos based on some Yahoo! search voodoo.
It’s as I expected it to be.
The problem why I didn’t get any results while writing this previous post was that there was obviously something wrong at the api.flickr.com servers. It led me to the “Flickr searches solely within the bbox” theory, which is wrong. Flickr searches clever!
See yourself:
This link should return a few (~ 30) photos taken or geotagged in the center of Vienna within an area of 600x600m and an accuracy below city to street level.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not, only Yahoo! voodoo spirits know why…
