Hi Kyle
It's not that the attributes have values of 5, that's just the indication of
the data type. Attribute values will be returned for each hash/result in
:matches - but you're getting nothing.
Firstly, I'd recommend trying with a range from 0.0 to 200.0 - there's no need
to use negative values, it's all just distance from the specified point. If
that doesn't help, let us know.
