Summary0011836: Probe location giving incorrect results
DescriptionThe probe location filter is too lenient when matching a surface. If used with a multiblock dataset containing surfaces and volumes it will give incorrect results when probing near to a boundary. (this is particularly bad when the velocity is 0 at a wall for CFD solvers).
Steps To ReproduceYou can see how high the tolerance is by creating a Wavelet source (all default values) and then using the "ProbeLocation" filter at point (10.9, 0, 0) - this is quite far out of the volume but it still returns a valid match.
Additional InformationI've looked in vtkProbeFilter (vtkProbeFilter::ProbeEmptyPoints) and notice that the tolerance is set to:

    diagonal_length_squared / 1000

Could we change this to?:

   diagonal_length_squared / 1000000
