  = Indexing =
  Indexing is handled by the various !FieldType instances in the schema.  At 
the most basic, the user can represent their own spatial data using ints, 
floats or doubles.  Beyond that, the !PointType, !GeoHashField and !LatLonType 
can be used to index spatial information automatically.

  == Filtering Caveats ==

  === North/South Poles ==
  
  When the bounding box includes a Pole, then the !LatLonType will 
automatically switch from producing a bounding box to a "bounding bowl" (i.e. a 
spherical cap: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalCap.html) whereby it will 
include all values that are North or South of the latitude of the would be 
bounding box (the lower left and the upper right) that is closer to the 
equator.  In other words, we still calculate what the coordinates of the upper 
right corner and the lower left corner of the box would be just as in all other 
filtering cases, but we then take the corner that is closest to the equator 
(since it goes over the pole it may not be the lower left, despite the name) 
and do a latitude only filter.  Obviously, this means there will be more 
matches than a pure bounding box match, but the query is much easier to 
construct and will likely be faster, too.

  = Sorting =
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1297 added the ability to sort by 
function, so sorting by distance is now simply a matter of sorting using the 
appropriate distance function, just like boosting.
