It's a recursive problem. Given a user-entered place name like "Salem, Oregon", you work from right to left, first looking up Oregon, which returns places like the state of Oregon and also Oregon County, Missouri. You then look for places named Salem located in the places returned by the first query. This approach finds "Atlanta, Georgia" as well as "Gori, Georgia" (a city in the Republic of Georgia). I've already written an efficient lookup function. I just don't know how to call it during analysis because I don't know how to access an instance of SolrCore from within a token filter object. -dallan
