[Koha-devel] ElasticSearch Geoserch

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi!

We are currently discussing a project where a customer wants to add a 
geosearch to Koha (store lat/lng in biblio, use Elastic geo queries [0] 
together with a leaflet.js map to find biblios in a certain area).

I assume that might be of interest to Koha in general?

I also assume that this will only be possible via some changes to Koha 
core code (i.e. adding a new search field to ES and Koha, define 
mappings), while some things might be doable as a plugin (the "frontend" 
map etc).

Before we start hacking I'd like to get some feedback from you:

* Would something like this be considered to be added to future Koha 
  versions?
* Do you think it's feasable / possible to add to Koha?
* Has anybody maybe done a geosearch before? (I couldn't find 
  anything..)

Greetings,
domm
