Zac Smith commented on SOLR-2609:
---------------------------------
Thanks David, I have updated this to be a feature request.
> Allow arbitrary bbox lat-lon, not limited to circle
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-2609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2609
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SearchComponents - other
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: Zac Smith
> Labels: spatialsearch
>
> The Spatial Search documentation states that you can create your own bounding
> box using a range query:
> "Since the LatLonType field also supports field queries and range queries,
> one can manually create their own bounding box rather than using bbox:
> ...&q=*:*&fq=store:[45,-94 TO 46,-93]"
> This works unless your range covers an area where longitude goes from 180 to
> -180. For instance I want all items in the longitude range of
> 178 to -177 which of course gives no results (it is not a valid numeric
> range). It's not really surprising that this doesn't work as it is just a
> standard range query with no spatial filters being applied.
> UPDATE
> Updated issue to be an enhancement, title changed.
> Desired functionality is for bbox to accept coordinate parameters for an
> arbitrary size bounding box. The bbox should take into account the prime
> meridians, in particular the 180th meridian.
> Documentation also needs to be updated to remove incorrect query example.
