I want users to be able to filter buildings in my database, by enerting a random zipcode with a certain distance around it (in kilometers). e.g.: 90210 with a radius of 50kilometer.
The longitude and latitude of a specific building are in the database. When the user searches on a zipcode, I can get the respective longitude and latitude from Google Maps. Then in Solr I want to return all buildings from my database that are in the radius of the 50km with the entered zipcode as the center... I checked this url for calculation, but not sure if there's any best practice on doing this... http://briancray.com/2009/04/01/how-to-calculate-the-distance-between-two-addresses-with-javascript-and-google-maps-api/ Any examples on how to do this? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Calculating-distances-in-Solr-using-longitude-latitude-tp1524297p1524297.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
