I haven't used PostGIS so I can't offer a real comparison. I think if you were to try out both, you'd be impressed with Solr's performance/scalability thanks in large part to its sharding. But for "functionality richness" in so far as geospatial is concerned, that's where Solr currently comes s

difference between geospatial search from database angle and from solr angle

I understand Solr can do pretty powerful geospatial search http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-spatial/ But I also understand lots of DB researchers have done lots of geospatial related work, can someone give an overview of th
