+.The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter has been removed.
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+The `geo_bounding_box` query's `type` parameter was deprecated in 7.14.0 and has
+been removed in 8.0.0. This parameter is a no-op and has no effect on the query.
 
+*Impact* +
+Discontinue use of the `type` parameter. `geo_bounding_box` queries that include
+this parameter will return an error.

-==== Type

-The type of the bounding box execution by default is set to `memory`,
-which means in memory checks if the doc falls within the bounding box
-range. In some cases, an `indexed` option will perform faster (but note
-that the `geo_point` type must have lat and lon indexed in this case).
-Note, when using the indexed option, multi locations per document field
-are not supported. Here is an example:
