 \brief Generate nearest() predicate.
 
 When nearest predicate is passed to the query, k-nearest neighbour search will be performed.
-\c nearest() predicate takes a \c Point from which distance to \c Values is calculated
-and the maximum number of \c Values that should be returned.
+\c nearest() predicate takes a \c Geometry from which distances to \c Values are calculated
+and the maximum number of \c Values that should be returned. Internally
+boost::geometry::comparable_distance() is used to perform the calculation.
 
 \par Example
 \verbatim
 bgi::query(spatial_index, bgi::nearest(pt, 5), std::back_inserter(result));
 bgi::query(spatial_index, bgi::nearest(pt, 5) && bgi::intersects(box), std::back_inserter(result));
+bgi::query(spatial_index, bgi::nearest(box, 5), std::back_inserter(result));
