Chris A. Mattmann commented on SOLR-773:
----------------------------------------

bq. From the user interface point of view, what's needed is:

    * A way to filter by a bounding box. This could simply be a custom QParser
      fq={!gbox p=101.2,234.5 f=position, d=1.5}
      // a bounding box, centered on 101.2,234.5 including everything within 
1.5 miles
    * A function query that calculates distances
      gdist(position,101.2,234.3)
    * A way to sort by a function query... this is generic desired 
functionality anyway!
    * A way to return the value of a function query for documents - also 
generic desired functionality. Perhaps use meta as proposed in SOLR-705?

Yonik: clear description of what we need to do here, thanks for that. Myself 
and 3 collaborators at JPL (Paul Ramirez, Sean McCleese and Sean Hardman) are 
going to spend time this summer over the next few months to get some patches 
together than implement this architecture in order to generically support GIS 
search in SOLR. We have a large corpus of ocean data and lunar data over here 
at JPL that we'd like to get this working for.

Thanks and more to come -- soon :)

Cheers,
Chris
