Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-2125: --------------------------------------- bq. http://....../solr/select?fl=*,score&start=0&rows=10&q={!sfilt%20fl=store_lat_lon}&qt=standard&pt=44.9369054,-91.3929348&d=280&sort=dist(2,store,vector(44.9369054,-91.3929348)) asc This URL has me a bit stumped. sfilt on a lat_lon is going to use Great Circle to calculate the distance, but then you are sorting using Euclidean distance? Not saying that's a problem, but it strikes me a bit weird. > Spatial filter is not accurate > ------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-2125 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2125 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Build > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Reporter: Bill Bell > Assignee: Grant Ingersoll > > The calculations of distance appears to be off. > Note: "The radius of the sphere to be used when calculating distances on a > sphere (i.e. haversine). Default is the Earth's mean radius in kilometers > (see org.apache.solr.search.function.distance.Constants.EARTH_MEAN_RADIUS_KM) > which is set to 3,958.761458084784856.
