If you would be able to search by city name you have to extend the query class. > If I have to also build the other search dimenstions, is there a rule of book > to follow, has any one done it before? I think I saw a short chapter about 2D-searches in "Lucene in Action". It should be very similar as the stuff added to the GeoPosition plugin with the differance that the Plugin is brougt to the third dimension. I also would prefer if the earth would be a plate :) If you need any help with the GeoPosition plugin, please feel free to ask.
