using the suggester feature you can in some case rank the suggestions based on an additional numeric field. It's not your use case, you actually want to use a search handler with a well defined schema that will allow you for example to query on an edge ngram token filtered field, applying a geo distance boost function.
This is what i would use and would work fine with your applied filter queries as well ( reducing the space of Suggestions) Cheers On 14 October 2015 at 05:09, William Bell <billnb...@gmail.com> wrote: > We want to use suggester but also want to show those results closest to my > lat,long...
