Hi Otis, Thanks for your answer. I do have LIA (but not with me now physically), and have the impression that the search ordering is predetermined (at index time); what I want is search-time ordering, e.g.,
"I'm at (x,y) now and low on gas; find me the closest airports that can land 747, the closest first, please". I'll re-read the book/chapter tonight, but look forward to any expert advises.
