Spatial index is slow when trying to find all the points within a range of a geocode.

You might need to use an Index hint (i.e. WITH(INDEX( [INDEX_NAME] ))

Select top 100
ci.Geocode.STDistance(@g), ci.CIOI
from CustomerInformation WITH(INDEX(IX_CI_Geocode))
ci where ci.Geocode.Filter(@region) = 1
order by ci.Geocode.STDistance(@g) asc

my example

DECLARE

@search_longitude FLOAT='121.78364585795',

@search_latitude FLOAT='31.2351032520358',

@radius Float=100

DECLARE @search_position geography = geography::Point(@search_latitude, @search_longitude, 4326)

--DECLARE @search_position geography = geography::Point(@search_latitude, @search_longitude, 4326).STBuffer(@radius)

SELECT TOP 50 *

FROM Locations l WITH(INDEX(IX_Stores_Location))

WHERE l.Location is not null and l.Location.STDistance(@search_position) <= @radius

--l.Location.Filter(@search_position)=1
