Hi everybody, I have some questions concerning using Lucene for Geo-searching. I have a bunch of documents (> 100,000) in the index that all have a latitude and longitude associated with them.
I wanted to be able to search within a certain radius of a point of origin, which I accomplished by applying some filters on the search that restrict what values lat/long can take. So far so good. What I would like to be able to do now is factor in the distance from the point of origin in the scoring, i.e. give documents that are closer to the point of origin a boost. Simply sorting by distance won't cut it, because there are other relevance factors affecting the ranking. Is there any good (easy & efficient) way to do this?
