I'm working on same setup, actually I'm trying to integrate the spatial search with the excellent mod http://drupal.org/project/search_api_location .. It seems, that the Search API doesn't work well with location.module.. Mh, I'm concerning using the geofield-module, with that the integration works well ..

Have you any idea to "migrate" location.module to geofield.module?

Your Proximity search will be available with the search_api_location (works with SolrPhpClient)

Search API location doesn't handle proximity though. This seems to be a big hole in Drupal as far as I'm concerned. You can levy the Apache Solr and do indexed searches but Location-based proximity are equally important to sites.

Does anybody know how to get Search API working with some sort of proximity searching (OpenLayers or other)?
