Hi Klaus, I suggest you take a look at the code in TestCartesian.java for working examples of the search and as a staring point to trace through.
in more depth, if you look at DistanceQueryBuilder.java you'll see 2 filters are being setup. The first pass filter is created by CartesianPolyFilterBuilder and this makes sure you only consider documents near to the area you are searching by looking in the right tier and pulling out the relevant grid cells. The second filter is dependent on which method you are using Lat/Lng or Geohash - this is where the more precise filtering is done based on the calculated distance. The use of the second pass filter is optional and driven by a boolean. If you want to custom score then there is an example in the TestCartesian.class with CustomScoreQuery Hope this helps, Julian On 11 May 2010 15:18, Klaus Malorny <klaus.malo...@knipp.de> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I hope someone can enlighten me.
