Structure

Each node holds N-M entries (MBRs). Similar to B-tree but with rectangles.

Insert with split

Descend to best-fitting MBR. If leaf overflows, split via linear/quadratic/R* heuristics. Propagate MBRs upward.

Search

void search(Node n, Rect query, List result) {
  for (Entry e : n.entries) {
    if (e.mbr.intersects(query)) {
      if (n.isLeaf) result.add(e.object);
      else search(e.child, query, result);
    }
  }
}
