Hi, My lucene index has got latitude and longitudes fields indexed as follows:
doc.Add(new Field("latitude", latitude.ToString() , Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED)); doc.Add(new Field("longitude", longitude.ToString(), Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED)); I want to retrieve a set of documents from this index whose lat and long values are in a given range. As you already know, Lat and long could be negative values. Given this,would the approach mentioned below give correct results or is there any other way to do this? Term lowerLatitude = new Term("latitude", bounds.South.ToString() ); Term upperLatitude = new Term("latitude", bounds.North.ToString()); RangeQuery latitudeRangeQuery = new RangeQuery(lowerLatitude, upperLatitude, true); findLocationQuery.Add(latitudeRangeQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD); Term lowerLongitude = new Term("longitude", bounds.West.ToString()); Term upperLongitude = new Term("longitude", bounds.East.ToString()); RangeQuery longitudeRangeQuery = new RangeQuery(lowerLongitude, upperLongitude, true); findLocationQuery.Add(longitudeRangeQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD); Also,I wanted to know how Lucene's ConstantScoreRangeQuery is better than RangeQuery class. Am facing another problem in this context: I've one of the documents in the index with the following 3 cities: - Lyons, IL Oak Brook, IL San Francisco, CA If i give input as "Lyons, IL" then this record comes up. But if i give San Francisco, CA as input, then it does not. However, if i store the cities for this document as follows: - San Francisco, CA Lyons, IL Oak Brook, IL and when i give San Francisco, CA as input, then this record shows in the search results. What i want here is that if i type any of the 3 cities in input,I should get this document in the search results. Please help me achieve this. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/SpatialQuery-for-location-based-search-using-Lucene-tp24236232p24236232.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
