I have not tried if that works. If it does not, you can still set the
BUFFER vendorParam. For more details, see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1434 or ask on the geoserver-users
list.

Also, i see that this is available since version 1.7.4, not 1.7.6.

Regards,
Andreas.

The way it works is that it analyzes the SLD that created the symbol, and will return all the features that are *visible on the map* at the spot that you clicked.
