Description

There is a problem with the geodist filter, it's not really accurate.

On my data, there is a mistake of about 50 KM.
Here is the search query :

select?q=*:*&d=80&pt=6.17,48.69&fq={!geofilt}&sfield=latlng&debugQuery=true

I have an entry with latlng : 6.94946408272,48.4564236864 , which should be returned, it's at 63 KM on my calculs.
