Distance Search
-
Hello,
We have a listings site. Alongwith each listing, which is a WordPress post, we are asking the user to choose the location where the item is physically located. Upon saving the post we are saving the latitude and longitude for the location of the item.
When a particular user comes to the site for searching various items, he inputs his current physical location. We get the latitude and longitude for the user’s location and then perform a search in the SOLR index for all items that match his search criteria and then filter this in ASC order of distance. So the nearest items (posts) are shown first and then the items which are located farther.
Can you suggest how we can implement this using your plugin as we presume that SOLR has inbuilt support for distance search.
