Hi Bill.
So it seems you want an exact match to be first even if it is outside the
spatial region, right? Your suggested implementation suggests this. And
apparently you want to sort by distance, notwithstanding the exact match
being first. Although you don't have to do this as two queries, I think
separating out the exact match search from the spatial filter is a good
approach. I suspect you might want to show this exact match hit (if there
is one) similar to how google will display an ad at the top of the search
results. That is, it will appear differently, and it won't "count" towards
the total hits and paging. If that seems like what you want to do, then
there you have it. I think based on your requirements that you've stated
that this approach makes the most sense.
If you really want this exact-match result to be just another matched
document that won't seem special to the user, then your 2nd query below is
close. You should use 'q', not 'fq'; filter queries don't score.
