Hey, I spent some times figuring out how to set up local/geo/spatial search at solr. I hope the following description can help given the current status.
1) Download localsolr. I download it from http://developer.k-int.com/m2snapshots/localsolr/localsolr/1.5/ and put jar file (in my case, localsolr-1.5.jar) in your application's WEB_INF/lib directory of application server. 2) Download locallucene. I download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/locallucene/ and put jar file (in my case, locallucene.jar in locallucene_r2.0/dist/ diectory) in your application's WEB_INF/lib directory of application server. I also need to copy gt2-referencing-2.3.1.jar, geoapi-nogenerics-2.1-M2.jar, and jsr108-0.01.jar under locallucene_r2.0/lib/ directory to WEB_INF/lib. Do not copy lucene-spatial-2.9.1.jar under Lucene codebase. The namespace has been changed from com.pjaol.blah.blah.blah to org.apache.blah blah. 3) Update your solrconfig.xml and schema.xml. I copy it from http://www.gissearch.com/localsolr. 4) Restart application server and try a query /solr/select?&qt=geo&lat=xx.xx&long=yy.yy&q=abc&radius=zz.
