Hi, I'm finding it a bit hard to get my head around this. Say I am putting items on a map. This is how I am thinking it would work:
A user submits an "item" and specifies the location as "London" On submission, I run a process to convert "London" to a Long/Lat which is stored in the database However, when someone then goes onto my site and searches for the postcode "SE1 2EL", which is in London, how does Solr know the long / lat of this? Do I have to query Solr by using Long / Lat, in which case, when a user submits a request for "SE1 2EL" I have to convert this to Long / Lat first and then send this query to Solr? I hope I have explained myself well, I would really like to know how others have solved this.
