Spatial: WithinRadiusOf

[lunarjetset]

Hi,

Could I ask - can WithinRadiusOf be used in conjunction with another criteria because we seem to have problems using it with OR ELSE

ie: we want to return locations that are within a certain radius of a point OR items that have the name of New York

Or do we need to use Lucene directly to solve this?

Thanks

Pete

You can't do that.

Spatial queries are limited to the distance specified, you would have to do two queries.

With the new Spatial module in place this is actually something we can do quite easily, since we are now using a Query and not a Filter. By default we are tying the spatial query and the rest of the criteria with a BooleanQuery and a MUST flag on both clauses, but that can be changed.

A pull request would be nice.
