I'm looking to implement location module fields for faceted search. This is a very complex proposition to be sure! We have location's place names (country, region and city fields) that might behave either like CCK facets or taxonomy facets. Then there's the issue of proximity searches.

Is there already someone working on this? Are there obvious problems that make it extra difficult? Should I be taking this up with the location module maintainers?

I also would be interested in a location facet.
If there is nobody working on it i propably do that myself (at least a first Version without proximity search).

This won't be implemented directly in Faceted Search for sure. But the opportunity is still open to anyone who wishes to write a location facet module!

Has any work been done on integrating the location module with facet search? I'm looking for the same functionality. I do not require proximity searching.

You can get a proximity search using the exposed views arguments hack http://drupal.org/node/243301
