Alessandro Thanks for the reply.
I'm not familiar with WKT syntax however the query sample you supplied below errors on both my 4.x and 5.2.1 servers with the following errors: "error": { "msg": "org.apache.solr.search.SyntaxError: Cannot parse 'geoloc:[\"0 18\" TO \"18 100”] ': Encountered \" <RANGE_GOOP> \"100\\u201d \"\" at line 1, column 22.\nWas expecting one of:\n \"]\" ...\n \"}\" ...\n ", "code": 400 } Looking further into my Solr4 setup it appears that JTS was also required for "Polygon" support: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrAdaptersForLuceneSpatial4.
