Abstract: Keyword-only search on social media is inefficient for event discovery. We outline research needs for geotagging users and texts, and propose algorithms integrating keyword and spatial indexing for efficient location-based event queries. This position paper surveys current methods, challenges, and future directions in location-event search over social texts.
