Duh, I always forget about the projection.
Next question: Have you tried the CartPFilterBldr with large distance values?
For instance, I put in distance of 5000 around a point (33.0, -80) and get 9
matches in my test. Using the same point and 10000 miles, I get 5 matches.
My points are (never mind the Solr syntax):
assertU(adoc("id", "1", fieldName, "32.7693246, -79.9289094"));
assertU(adoc("id", "2", fieldName, "33.7693246, -80.9289094"));
assertU(adoc("id", "3", fieldName, "-32.7693246, 50.9289094"));
assertU(adoc("id", "4", fieldName, "-50.7693246, 60.9289094"));
assertU(adoc("id", "5", fieldName, "0,0"));
assertU(adoc("id", "6", fieldName, "0.1,0.1"));
assertU(adoc("id", "7", fieldName, "-0.1,-0.1"));
assertU(adoc("id", "8", fieldName, "0,179.9"));
assertU(adoc("id", "9", fieldName, "0,-179.9"));
assertU(adoc("id", "10", fieldName, "89.9,50"));
assertU(adoc("id", "11", fieldName, "89.9,-130"));
At any rate, I'm debugging.
