Documentation: Geographical proximity sorting
eklem opened this issue · comments
Not strictly needed for the #79 , but good to have.
Sorting is a slightly bigger change. Just now, results are always sorted on tf-idf score, but it would be great if you could define other fields to sort on (price, height, etc, etc.)
Geographical proximity is a special case because you are sorting on a value that is derived query time, but it could absolutely be done
Leave it be for now, we'll understand when it's important to do.
I think that the concept of sorting on arbitrary fields is something that could be in the code at some point in the future
I believe that some magic can be done here already with geohashes...
Sooo, with geohashes, this could be a case for search-index-cookbook
?
I'll close this an make an issue over at search-index-cookbook
.
