Hi, In the Book "Lucene in Action" Chapter 6 "Extending search", there is an example for indexing geographical information, and order the search results based on distances between 2 points (x,y)->(y,z). I think that it could be interesting for you. Patricio
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Giesen Giesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Samstag, 8.

I can do this in SQL with longitude/latitude values, but can this be done in Lucene? I can't do my full search in the database as I want the fast fuzzy search capabilities of Lucene. It is possible to do the main search in Lucene and then do post filtering on distance outside of Lucene. Does anyone have a better idea? How are other people handling this? This seems a common task. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
