Hibernate search bounding box search

I'm using Hibernate Search 5 to implement a full text service implementation with Apache Lucene. I'm able to get the text search working by following the steps in this site.

Now I need to add a geo location(lat/lon) fields in the entity and referring to this documentation, it seems hibernate allows defining one using @Latitude & @Longitude annotation.

My requirement is to find all entities that matches a given keyword and falls within bounding geo polygon(given a top left corner point and bottom right corner point of the bounding box).

Referring further in the hibernate documentation, I found support for finding entities within a specific distance(more like a bounding circle) as below

org.apache.lucene.search.Query luceneQuery = builder
  .spatial()
  .within( radius, Unit.KM )
    .ofLatitude( centerLatitude )
    .andLongitude( centerLongitude )
  .createQuery();

Is there a way to do search by bounding polygon instead of radius ?

As a workaround, I can give a radius large enough to bound my box however i'll end up doing over fetching the data.

There is no support for bounding box queries in Hibernate Search 5.

There is such support in Hibernate Search 6: see this part of the documentation. Hibernate Search 6 is currently in Beta and the API is different from Hibernate Search 5.
