Thank you. Yes I see that is what it does. But I thought that the idea of the "Poly Fields" in Spatial Solr was to overcome this problem and be able to treat each PointType field as one field, instead of a separate latitude and longitude. I can't figure out though from the information in the JIRA-issues about this subject how to use this, which patches I would need, etc. WRT implementing a filter query like you suggest: I see there are many questions about this on this mailing lists, but no real answers, which lets me believe this is in fact not so simple. Any pointers of how to go that route?
