This simple feature of "sort=geodist() asc" is very powerful since it enables us to move from SOLR 3 to SOLR 4 without rewriting all our queries.
We also use boost=geodist() in some cases, and some bf/bq. bf=recip(geodist(),2,200,20)&sort=score desc<http://localhost:8983/solr/select?fl=name,store,score&defType=dismax&q.alt=*:*&fq={!geofilt}&sfield=store&pt=45.15,-93.85&d=50&bf=recip(geodist(),2,200,20)&sort=score%20desc> OR boost=recip(geodist(),2,200,20)&sort=score desc<http://localhost:8983/solr/select?fl=name,store,score&defType=edismax&q.alt=*:*&fq={!geofilt}&sfield=store&pt=45.15,-93.85&d=50&boost=recip%28geodist%28%29,2,200,20%29&sort=score%20desc> I know it specifically says it won't work for geohash multivalue points, but what would it take to do it? -- Bill Bell billnb...@gmail.com cell 720-256-8076
