Thanks to both of you. I got it working as follows after your helpful posts. I get this polygon search working. fq=geo:"Intersects(POLYGON((149.4023 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.6072)))"
AND I can get this search working (as in results returned) fq=geo:"Intersects(POLYGON((151.506958 -33.458943, 150.551147 -33.60547, 151.00708 -34.257216, 151.627808 -33.861293, 151.506958 -33.458943)))" But no matter what MULTIPOLYGON I try with various Parentheses combinations and im still not getting results, I will get results from either only 1 of the polygons in the multipolygon search, or the error unable to read . fq=geo:"Intersects(MULTIPOLYGON(((149.4023 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.6072))), ((151.506958 -33.458943, 150.551147 -33.60547, 151.00708 -34.257216, 151.627808 -33.861293, 151.506958 -33.458943)))" Returns only the results from the first polygon. fq=geo:"Intersects(MULTIPOLYGON(((149.4023 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.6072)), ((151.506958 -33.458943, 150.551147 -33.60547, 151.00708 -34.257216, 151.627808 -33.861293, 151.506958 -33.458943)))" Gives error ERROR 500 error reading WKT Finally this fq=geo:"Intersects(MULTIPOLYGON(((149.4023 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.8690, 149.9022 -34.6072, 149.4023 -34.6072)), ((151.506958 -33.458943, 150.551147 -33.60547, 151.00708 -34.257216, 151.627808 -33.861293, 151.506958 -33.458943))))" Worked :) -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/solr4-MULTIPOLYGON-search-syntax-tp4021199p4021435.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
