Be aware that a number of countries span more than one continent. For
example, Russia and Turkey and others in that region of the world.
Normally, you flatten your data model for Solr, so each document would have
a continent, country, state, and city.
You can do a dismax query for the terms on those four fields with a boost,
although I'm not sure a boost will be of any value in the case of a dismax
which is providing an exact match anyway.

Subject: Need Help for Location searching
Hi,
I wanted to design an analyzer that can support location containment
relationship For example Europe->France->Paris
My requirement is like: when a user search for any country , then results
must have the documents having that country , as well as the documents
having states and cities which comes under that country.
But, documents with country name must have high relevancy.
And the same when a user search for state or city.
It must obeys containment relationship up to 4 levels .i.e.
Continent->Country->State->City
Also, I have designed analyzer using synonym filter factory for the same,
and its working as per expectation.
But I wanted to know, is there any another way, apart from using synonym
filter factory that can be used for the same.
Is SOLR provide any tokenziers or filters for this?
Please provide me some pointers to move ahead.
Thanks in Advance
