Lucene.Net and Geosearch - is it outthere somewhere?

Question

I've found an interesting article about Lucene and geosearching:

http://sujitpal.blogspot.com/2008/02/spatial-search-with-lucene.html

Is there an equivilant .NET implementation out there that I have been unable to find or do I have to rework the Java-code in his example to fit in the .NET Framework?

Answer 1

I came across this article, as well. I do not see a .NET-specific in my Googling, so I am planning on probably porting this code when the need arises, as well. Right now, I am just getting my feet wet with Lucene.NET and have not gotten to the point that I am comfortable enough with it to start extending it, yet.

The code in the article appears to be a derived example of the conceptual geo-distance functionality outlined in Lucene In Action. Although the book is based on the Java product, it is a great read. The samples port easily and it is full of information.
