Re: Distances in spatial search (Solr 4.0)
Hi Bill, I was using a different approach to sort by the distance with the dist() function, since geodist() is not documented on the wiki ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery) Tried something like: sort=dist(2, 45.15,-93.85, lat, lng) asc I made some tests with geodist() function as you pointed and got different results. Is it safe to assume that geodist() is the correct way of doing it? Also, can you clear up how can I see the distance using the _Val_ as you told? Thanks!

See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearch and yest use sort=geodist()+asc This Wiki page has everything you should need\.

Spatial search - Solr 4.0
Hi, I am implementing spatial search and found some odd things. As I know that the returning distance is still being implemented, so I have implement algorithm to calculate the actual distance based on lat and long returned. when I do it, I have found the sort is not working properly. Any thing I missed? Jae
Re: Spatial search - Solr 4.0
What version of solr are you using? What is your configuration? What query are you using?
