Hi Mark, I asked a follow-up question/observation to your Stackoverflow instantiation of your question.
I also wrote the following, which doesn’t yet fit into an answer because I don’t know what problem you are yet experiencing: Some technical details: geo=true|false is an attribute on the field type; it isn't a request parameter. Should you want to change it to geo=false, you will also have to set the worldBounds and certainly re-index. Almost any change to a field type in the schema requires a re-index. If your units stay degrees then you can continue to use "lat,lon" format, but if you use another unit specific to some projection then it's not degrees and I suggest switching to "x y" to avoid confusion with lat,lon format. FYI units=degrees is required but it has no effect. When geo=true, the 'd' in geofilt is kilometers, when geo=false, 'd' is in the units of the numbers you put into the index. The docs are here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spatial+Search It would be awesome if you want to help further spatial in Lucene/Solr. This year is looking like a great year for spatial — I’m particularly excited about a new “FlexPrefixTree” from Varun (GSOC 2014) together with the latest advances in auto-prefixing to be released in Lucene/Solr 5.0. ~ David Smiley Freelance Apache Lucene/Solr Search Consultant/Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 8:42 AM, Mark G <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > Solr team, I am indexing geographic points in dec degrees lat lon using the > location_rpt type in my index.
