How do I limit geo search ($near quer

[Abe]

Hello! My name is Abe and I think MongoDB is absolutely awesome!

I have been using MongoDB in my production environment at work and
recently I have been working on implementing a store finder service
in .Net with MongoDB.
I store a collection of store objects, where each store object
contains the latitude, longitude and zip code.

I have been following the documention on Geospacial Indexing (http://
www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Geospatial+Indexing) and was able to
implement the following services:

So, I am able to find the list of stores closest to a given zip code
by using the $near operator in my queries, but how do I limit the
results by a search radius?

Example:
Find me the closest stores to the zip code 90232 with a search radius
of 5 miles.

I am currently using version 1.6.3.
Is there an parameter for max distance in the $near operator and can I
use the unit in miles?

Thank you!

db.places.find( { loc : { $near : [50,50] , $maxDistance : 5 } } )

Just made the docs a bit clearer as wel

Also, I believe this will work by using a third parameter in the array
like this:

db.places.find( { loc : { $near : [50,50,5]} } )

Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for.
I tried using $within and $center, but since the results were getting
streamed, I was not able to get the sorted result set.

I saw your comments on http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-813, but
I wasn't sure what the unit was.
Thanks again for updating the documentation as well.
