Component body

The Search API Location module (7.x-2.x & 8.x-1.x branch) adds the possibility of location based searching to the Search API module.
Currently only Apache Solr is supported as the service class.

You can view a demo here for Drupal 7 and view a demo here for Drupal 8

Requirements D8

Requirements D7

  • a content type/entity with a latitude/longitude field (currently geofield is supported, location fields probably work, but I haven't tested it yet)
  • Apache Solr server 3.1+ (I only tested with 3.3 and 3.4, but spatial search is included since 3.1)
  • Current versions of Search API and Search API Solr

Installation and configuration

  • Put the module in sites/all/modules folder.
  • enable the module and any sub-module(s) you want
  • add/modify a Search API index which lies on a Solr server
    • on the index's "Fields" tab: index the field containing the latlng value ("LatLong Pair") and select the "Latitude/longitude" type.
      If you don't see the field, check the "Add related field" form at the bottom of the page
    • reindex the index

    Depending on what sub-modules you enabled, additional options will now be available for search pages for that index, or for Views filters and contextual filters on location fields.

    Supported Features

    • support for Openlayers maps
    • show the results on a map
    • bounding box search
    • show the distance to the search point
