Hi, If I want to do a proximity search and they have provided me with a name of a city, for example, “London”. How do I search this by proximity within Solr?
I am assuming I first need a process to convert the city name to a long and lat, so that Solr can understand where London is. Is this something that I need to build into my PHP application or is there a system for this already in Solr? Secondly, how does it work with the size of the city. If I want to search for pizza in London, how do I automatically put a radius of say 100 miles on it, whereas if it is a small town the radius would only be small, say 20 miles. Thanks for any help you can give, James -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Location-Based-Searching-Long-Lat-tp3914086p3914086.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
