Within – as an option listed at the top of each geographic menu. This would mean that the user wishes to search for all entities that lie within a specific geographic unit, e.g., within the British Empire (but not the British Empire itself). As it stands, if I select British Empire from the set of options under Empire I get results only for the British Empire as a whole, which is to say, none of its colonies show up. This is a nontrivial problem to fix, I know. The Continent operates in this fashion, but only when a continent name appears as part of the Location name (which is not always).
