GeoNetwork is an entirely different type of repository from Fedora. It holds metadata, typically about geospatial data. It offers external connectivity in several different ways, including OAI-PMH.

LocalSOLR is a Web front-end to LocalLucene, in the same way that SOLR is a Web front-end to Lucene. LocalLucene: http://locallucene.wiki.sourceforge.net/ brings geospatially-aware searching to the already impressive capacities of Lucene. It contemplates, amongst other things, the kind of extent-based searching you have described. --- A.
