Maybe Ryan is also there, and then we can do it together. But I could talk about it, too (I should prepare some examples before and try to completely understand LocalLucene). The Solr part is nothing for me, I do more hardcore Lucene. NumericRangeQuery is not only geographical search... So it would also cover other directions: Things I can do with Lucene additionally to full text search, that could be done before only with RDBMS and/or PostGIS...: Do full text search with scoring and so on in addition to filter my products by price and availability in shops at specific geographic regions; newspaper articles about Arnold and national bankruptcy *g* from a datetime range sorted by article size,... (we know all possibilities we have now by numeric/geo search). Uwe > On Jul 14, 2009, at 1:23 PM, Uwe Schindler wrote: > > >> : -. Geo-spatial search with Lucene and Solr (Ryan?)
