Hi,

I was looking for a way to use spatical search given a location name (like
'dallas,tx'), and also given an IP, and I found 
http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Spatial-Geonames-and-extension-to-Spatial-Solution-for-Solr-tc1311813.html
this post by Chris Mattmann  mentioning some work with Geonames that seems
to do all I need. The work is done in 8 different issues, and was implmented
for 3.2

I have the following questions:

Has anyone used this and do you have some feedback about it?

Is the IP-to-lat/lon ready to run out of the box or it needs some external
service?

If I wanted to use this in 3.5 the easiest way would be to apply all patches
to current 3.5? Would they apply cleanly or probably not?

Are there any plans to incorporate this to Solr itself or it will remain as
some patches?

thanks,
javi
