Hello, I have a design question for Solr.
I work for an enterprise which has a lot of retail stores (approx. 20K). These retail stores are spread across the world. My search requirement is to find all the cities which are within x miles of a retail store. So lets say if we have a retail Store in San Francisco and if I search for "San" then San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Jose, San Juan, etc should be returned as they are within x miles from San Francisco. I also want to rank the search results by their distance. I can create an index with all the cities in it but I am not sure how do I ensure that the cities returned in a search result have a nearby retail store. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Venu,
