question regarding proper placement of geofilt in fq=

[Jerry Mindek]

Hi,

I am using rev 1036236 of solr trunk running as a servlet in Tomcat 7.
The doc set is sharded over 11 shards.
Currently, I have all the shards running in a single tomcat.

Please see the bottom of the email for the bits of my schema.xml and 
solrconfig.xml that might help you understand my configuration.

I am seeing what I think is strange behavior when I try to use the geofilt in a 
filter query.
Here's what I am seeing:


1.       If put the {!geofilt} as the last argument of the fq= parameter and I 
send the following distributed query to my sharded index:
/select?&start=0&rows=30&q=food&fq=b_type:shops AND 
{!geofilt}&qt=spatialdismax&fl=*%2Cscore&facet=false&pt=38.029191,-78.479266&sfield=lat_long&d=80&shards=...
I get a syntax error. Which seems odd to me.


2.       If I move the {!geofilt} to the first position in the fq= and send the 
following distributed query:
/select?&start=0&rows=30&q=food&fq={!geofilt} AND 
b_type:T01&qt=spatialdismax&fl=*%2Cscore&facet=false&pt=38.029191,-78.479266&sfield=lat_long&d=80&shards=...
Then only the geofilt is apply, not the b_type:T01. Which seems odd to me. I 
would expect both filters to be applied.


3.       Finally, when I submit this query as:
/select?&start=0&rows=30&q=food&fq=_query_:"{!geofilt} AND 
b_type:T01&qt=spatialdismax&fl=*%2Cscore&facet=false&pt=38.029191,-78.479266&sfield=lat_long&d=80&shards=...
This works as I had hoped, i.e. both the geofilt and the b_type filters are 
applied.

Am I trying to use geofilt in the wrong way or is this possibly a bug?

Thanks,
Jerry Mindek
