A key point of the fact that there are multiple SpatialStrategy classes is that there are multiple ways to index “spatial data” with different use-cases. So by all means, use as many of them that you need. For example, perhaps you might also use PointVectorStrategy for distance-sorting to a center-point. (BBoxStrategy can do that too… albeit with a bit more work since it must calculate the center-point from twice as many values 2 -> 4). p.s. I’ve seen your code that uses Lucene spatial on GitHub (our friend Bruce pointed me at it) and commented on a commit but I haven’t seen a response from you. Perhaps you don’t have notifications set up to alert you? https://github.com/pelagios/pelagios-api-v3/commit/f958fe5d8542cf55ddf6382940c5fe3ffa1a9fa6 ~ David
