When a user moves the Google map, I would like to display items in the viewing range of the user automatically. How can I efficiently and quickly display the items?

I have basic understanding of calling getBounds() method every time the user moves the map, but I am not sure how I can efficiently search and get from my database the items within the lat/lng of the bounds of the current viewport. Is there easier and faster way of doing this?
