What does "distance" refer to? Amount of miles? Radius? I can't find any documentation on it. What's the maximum limit FB will allow us to grab?

$nearby = $facebook->api('/search?type=place&center='.$_GET['lat'].','.$_GET['lon'].'&distance=1000&limit=200');

    According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5250368/facebook-fql-get-checkins-within-range/8118424#8118424, `distance` is an undocumented function, limited to 50km, and doesn't work very well... – Chris J Feb 29 '12 at 15:06

Distance refers to the radius with respect to the latitude and longitude of the location in meters. As mentioned by Chris, the maximum is 50,000 m.
