Dear List,

In case it helps anyone, I had to disable the spatial index on a SQL Server 
table when using a bounding box query in light of

“This method may produce a false positive return, and the exact result may be 
plan-dependent”

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2008-r2/cc645883(v=sql.105)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Can I please confirm this is understood to be the current behaviour for 
GeoServer 2.17/2.18?

I think this may have been related to 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Spatial-Index-not-being-Used-in-SQL-Server-Layer-td5011400.html
 ; Technically I was using a SQL view on the table, and it still didn’t return 
only the bound points.

Does anyone know if PostGIS makes the same approximation?

I expect that if I want to reenable the table index I probably need to fund the 
review or possible change to use STIntersects().

Much appreciated,

Russell.

actually, the table hints are added to the query here:

Yeah, they are there to force usage of spatial indexes, regardless what the 
query optimizer might think.
It's something one should not have to use, but it seems the query optimizer in 
SQL Server does a poor job at
guessing the selectivity of a spatial index, and sometimes needs to be forced 
into the right direction.
