According to the query language spec, it is possible to query items by geographic coordinates. I either get errors or no results when I try.

Can someone provide an example of a working query?

Excerpt from the query spec follows.

-----

Here are some examples specifying locations via latitude/longitude: @+4852+00220 (Paris), @+48.8577+002.295 (Eiffel Tower, Paris), @+90+000 (North Pole), +40.6894-074.0447 (Statue of Liberty, NYC).

Geographic areas can be represented by a location and a radius specified either in meters, kilometers, or miles. The syntax is defined above. Here is an example: @+40.75-074.00 + 5mi (NYC + radius of 5 miles).
