Use polygons instead of bounding boxes for geographic search, but continue the ability for a user to draw their own area of interest. Steps:

1. Homme to improve ability to resize rectangles after they have been drawn.
2. Helen to ask STFC about possibility of changing WSDL to enable polygon searching. If this is possible:
3. Helen send shapefiles listed in item 12 to Homme.
4. Helen and Homme to decide which shapefiles need resolution lowering to avoid slow searching problems.
5. Geodata to add ability for user to define area of interest by drawing (and resizing) a polygon
