Re: Spatial Search using Lucene and a Database

Marc,
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I'd like to point out http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/SpatialSearch . It is still very bare, but this Spatial Contrib is about to get a good amount of attention.
If you have more questions, I suggest you use java-user list instead of this general list.
