Grant,
Since the geo talk is up in the air, perhaps you'd like to do a
generic talk on geo search using Lucene. This would cover Trie +
contrib/spatial.
Maybe Ryan is also there, and then we can do it together. But I
could talk
about it, too (I should prepare some examples before and try to
completely
understand LocalLucene). The Solr part is nothing for me, I do more
hardcore
Lucene.
That's fine, no need to discuss Solr
NumericRangeQuery is not only geographical search... So it would
also cover
other directions: Things I can do with Lucene additionally to full
text
search, that could be done before only with RDBMS and/or PostGIS...:
Do full
text search with scoring and so on in addition to filter my products
by
price and availability in shops at specific geographic regions;
newspaper
articles about Arnold and national bankruptcy *g* from a datetime
range
sorted by article size,... (we know all possibilities we have now by
numeric/geo search).
Yes, I understand. That's fine too, we could do that instead of a
spatial talk. I just know that a lot of people are interested in
spatial, so it might be good to cover what Lucene can do.
