Hi, I'm very interested in migrating our current search engine to use Lucene. After evaluating Lucene, I have become very impressed and have been telling lots of people about it. One requirement that we have is to be able to search our documents by specifying a geographical boundary. I searched everything I could find on Lucene but I barely found any mention of anyone using it for such a purpose. My XML documents contain both temporal and spatial information that I would like my users to be able to search on. Does such a thing exist for Lucene? Is there an easy way to do this with Lucene? Is there interest in adding this type of functionality to Lucene if it doesn't exist? Could something like GeoTools or some other Java toolkit be integrated into Lucene. I would even offer my help to make it so, if there is a need.
