      Events are usually linked to places/venues (held at). These places are then linked to an area, which can be part of an area and so on. For example we have Wacken Open Air 2023 held at Wacken Open Air Festival Grounds which is in area Wacken which is part of Schleswig-Holstein which is part of Germany.

      I want to use the search to find events in an area. For example all Events in Germany. With type:Festival AND begin:2023 AND place:Wacken I find Wacken Open Air 2023 from the example. With type:Festival AND begin:2023 AND area:Germany I find no results, because Wacken Open Air 2023 is not directly linked to area Germany. So I have read a little about style and it seems it is common sense to not link to Germany directly, cause the held at place is already linked to germany through the chain staten above. (More specific)

      This should also work for places which are part of each other. For Example the Double Main Stage is part of Wacken Open Air Festival Grounds.

       

      TL:DR

      So my request is to extend the search to resolve relationship chains for the area field. Including the area <-> place relation.

      I want to find Wacken Open Air 2023 with this query type:Festival AND begin:2023 AND area:Germany
