Spatial Search Article is Live
My latest article is up at IBM’s developerWorks on spatial search with Lucene and Solr. Have a look at: Location-aware search with Apache Lucene and Solr.

Hi Grant,
Nice article! A couple of points you may want to consider:
* Min build spec for example is JDK 1.6 not JDK 1.5 as per instructions
* Could be worth mentioning that user location input criteria need not always require geocoding from text now that HTML 5 provides standardised API access to user location (currently supported on iPhone OS3, firefox 3.5, Android…..)
Cheers,
Mark
