What's the error?

SOLR-773 should have all the pointers. I'm slowly but surely working on
SOLR-1568. That will add filtering capability.

Not sure on what was said, as I missed the webinar due to travel, but S-1568
will add in filtering capabilities for all of the different spatial types. It
will also add a Lat/Lon specific field type.

You will need to write your own field type to represent shapes (or just keep
that info at the app level), but it should be feasible. Distro search should
just work.
All feedback is definitely welcome. I'm committed to getting a good solution
in 1.5, but for me it is slow going due to work commitments. Any and all help
is appreciated.
