It's definitely very interesting. Did you compare performances of Lucene with a database allowing you to perform real GIS queries? I'm more a PostgreSQL guy and I must admit we usually use cube contrib or PostGIS for this sort of thing and with both, we are capable to use indexes for proximity queries and they can be pretty fast. Using the method you used with MySQL is definitely too slow and not used as soon as you have a certain amount of data in your table. Regards, -- Guillaume
