Bryce, I think (Craig, correct me if I'm wrong) you need to have a Point layer to be able to do that search. The default OSM layer is containing a lot of geometries, so I think you first should define a layer on top of the full imported one, then search. I did something like that in another spike, see https://github.com/popdevelop/snapplr/blob/master/server_java/src/main/java/com/geosnappr/TaginfoImporter.java#L312
The layer is defined with something like https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-spatial/blob/master/src/test/java/org/neo4j/gis/spatial/TestDynamicLayers.java#L26 on top of the imported full data layer. Does that help?
