Ryan McKinley commented on SOLR-1568:
-------------------------------------

I'm torn on this also...

The function query syntax (and all local params really) are a bit cryptic.  
When I look into it though they are really powerful, and i see an advantage to 
having that level of control. (and it works in solr now)

I wonder if there is a simple way to add query rewriting that would convert:
 &lat=49&long=-77&radius=10
to:
 &fq={!sfilt p=49,-77 f=location dist=10}

Perhaps a RequestRewrite component?  

I doubt adding something like http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ would work 
off-the-shelf, but it could go a long way to hide the ugly innards for a simple 
case like this, yet still allow the power of the function query syntax.

> Given an index with spatial information (either as a geohash, 
> SpatialTileField (see SOLR-1586) or just two lat/lon pairs), we should be 
> able to pass in a filter query that takes in the field name, lat, lon and 
> distance and produces an appropriate Filter (i.e. one that is aware of the 
> underlying field type for use by Solr. 
> The interface _could_ look like:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt dist=20}location:49.32,-79.0
> {code}
> or it could be:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt lat=49.32 lat=-79.0 f=location dist=20}
> {code}
> or:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt p=49.32,-79.0 f=location dist=20}
> {code}
> or:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt lat=49.32,-79.0 fl=lat,lon dist=20}
> {code}
