We have a public property search site that we are looking to replace the back end index server on and we are looking at Solr as a possible replacement (ElasticSearch is another possibility).
One of the key search components of out site is to search on a bounding box (rectangle), custom multi-point polygon, and/or a radius from a point. It appears that Solr3 and Solr4 both supported spatial searching, but using different methods. Also, per this link, http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrAdaptersForLuceneSpatial4, it appears that Solr only supports point, rectangle and circle shapes and needs JTS and/or WKT to support multi-point non non rectangular polygon shapes. Our indexed data will included the long/lat values for all property records. If someone can provide sample queries for the following situations, it would be appreciated: - All properties/points that fall within a multi-point polygon (ie: Polygon points: Lo1 La1, Lo2 La2, Lo3 La3, Lo4 La4, Lo5 La5, Lo1, La1) - All properties that fall within 1.5 miles (radius) of point: Lo1 La1 Other spatial search type functionality that may be targeted included: - Ability to search within multiple polygons (both intersecting, non intersecting and combinations - Ability to search for properties that fall outside of a polygon Thanks Lee -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-and-Polygon-Radius-based-spatial-searches-tp4115121.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
