Hi Michael, It appears that you want to index circles (aka point-radius) and you want to do a query that is a point that matches documents where this point is within an indexed circle. I'm working with a couple Lucene/Solr committers on a geospatial module that can do this today against Solr 4 (trunk), but it's rough on the edges and needs testing. In the mean time, I suggest you look at this post from "Spaceman Steve" in which he indexed lat-lon boxes and he has a query box. With a bit of creativity, you may be able to adapt it to your needs.
