Julio,
I''ve actually checked that plugin and it seems to be great.
But what I''m trying to achieve is pretty much explained on that blog
post ->
http://blog.tourb.us/archives/ferret-and-location-based-searches .
A-la Google Maps.
I want to be able to search for a particular named location
(name/description - text search) within an X mile radius of a given
lat/long.
That''s why the filter for ferret :)
