[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2609) Allow arbitrary bbox lat-lon, not limited to circle

---------------------------------

Thanks David, I have updated this to be a feature request.

>                 Key: SOLR-2609
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2609
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SearchComponents - other
>    Affects Versions: 3.1
>            Reporter: Zac Smith
>              Labels: spatialsearch

> The Spatial Search documentation states that you can create your own bounding box using a range query:
> "Since the LatLonType field also supports field queries and range queries, one can manually create their own bounding box rather than using bbox: ...&q=*:*&fq=store:[45,-94 TO 46,-93]"
> This works unless your range covers an area where longitude goes from 180 to -180. For instance I want all items in the longitude range of 
> 178 to -177 which of course gives no results (it is not a valid numeric range). It's not really surprising that this doesn't work as it is just a standard range query with no spatial filters being applied.
> UPDATE
> Updated issue to be an enhancement, title changed.
> Desired functionality is for bbox to accept coordinate parameters for an arbitrary size bounding box. The bbox should take into account the prime meridians, in particular the 180th meridian.
> Documentation also needs to be updated to remove incorrect query example.
