Julio, I've actually checked that plugin and it seems to be great. But what I'm trying to achieve is pretty much explained on that blog post -> http://blog.tourb.us/archives/ferret-and-location-based-searches . A-la Google Maps. I want to be able to search for a particular named location (name/description - text search) within an X mile radius of a given lat/long. That's why the filter for ferret :)
