Boost :: geometry return indices

Question

I want to have a class that uses boost::geometry::index::rtreefor spatial indexers. This class needs to know about amplification, so I'm using something like this:

struct VeryImportantInfo
{
    ...
    float x;
    float y;
}

class Catalogue
{
    ...
public:
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> > FindIn(float x1, float x2, float y1, float y2);

protected:
    using point = bg::model::point<float, 2, bg::cs::cartesian>;
    using value = std::pair<point, std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> >;
    using box = bg::model::box<point>;        

    boost::geometry::index::rtree< value, bgi::quadratic<16> > rtree;
}

std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> > Catalogue::FindIn(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2)
{
    box query_box(point(x1, y1), point(x2, y2));
    ???
}

I don’t know how to execute the request correctly (please do not look at this awful vector return by copy, it’s just, for example, sake). I can do it:

std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> > Catalogue::FindIn(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2)
{
    box query_box(point(x1, y1), point(x2, y2));
    std::vector<value> result_s;
    rtree.query(bgi::intersects(query_box), std::back_inserter(result_s));
    std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> > results;
    results.reserve(result_s.size());
    for( auto& p : result_s)
    {
        results.emplace_back(p.second);
    }
    return results;
}

I want to know how I can get rid of the internal copy (do not return the copy results.emplace_back(p.second);- this one). Because I can have more than 10k results in result_s, and that would be a waste.

Thank!

, . qbegin()/qend() boost::geometry::index:

std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo> > Catalogue::FindIn(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2)
{
    box query_box(point(x1, y1), point(x2, y2));

    auto b = bgi::qbegin(rtree, bgi::intersects(query_box)), 
        e = bgi::qend(rtree);

    auto range  = boost::make_iterator_range(b, e);

    using namespace boost::adaptors;
    return boost::copy_range<std::vector<std::shared_ptr<VeryImportantInfo>>>(
            range | transformed([](value const& p) { return p.second; }));
