Hi Eric

The warning on Yokozuna looks a bit troublesome... " It is in developmental
stages and is not recommended for production use at this time."

Also, Solr requires lat/long data, and my data is X,Y coordinates, so the
lat/long calculations/boundaries would possibly be incorrect... although it
might be possible to work around this with some kind of transformation. The
solution itself seems a bit unwieldy and difficult to maintain though, so I
don't think I'd want to use it as a first choice...

Ryan
