: Geo definition: : Boxing around a center point. It's not critical to do a radius search with : a given circle. A boxed approach allows for taller or wider frames of : reference, which are applicable for our use.
if you are just loking to confine your results to a box then i think RangeFiltering on both the X and Y axis will be more efficient then the individual term queries you are producing. It will have the added bonus of not artificially affecting the scores of hte documents based on how often a particular digit apears in a particular position of hte latitue accross your corpus. Once you've filtered down to a particular bounding box, you might consider going back to the function query approach to score documents inside that box based on their actual distance from the center point. I don't recall at the moment but i believe FunctionQuery's Scorer supports skipTo in such a way that it won't bother computing the function for a document that has been skiped (ie: when containing in a BooleanQuery with another clause that has already prohibited it, or when executed in the context of a Filter) -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
