FAST geo search with multiple bounds

Vote count:

0

Up until now, we have been sending an qtf_geosearch parameter along with our query to FAST to bound the results geographically. However, now we want to bound it on more than one "rectangle" as it were (i.e. "here" or "there"). We determined that we can append to our query something to the effect of

or(and(lat:range(lat1,lat2),lon:range(lon1,lon2)),and(lat:range(lat3,lat4),lon:range(lon3,lon4)),...)

However, we need to convert our standard lat/long coordinates (WGS84, I believe) to something that is an unsigned integer (according to the error messages we receive). I am told there is some type of internal system in ESP, but I don't know how to make the conversion. Can anyone help?
