Hi All! And thanks in advance for helping me troubleshoot 🙂

I am using app search with a gcp firestore search extension. ANd it automagically cruds according to my collection, but I can't search with a geo\_distance filter. WIth just a string query it returns the correct data.

Here is my code:

```auto
elasticClientSearch.app.search({
engine_name: "swapperooni-search-engine-latest",
query: req.query['q'],
filters: {
geo_distance: {
distance: `${req.query['distance']}km` ,
location: {
lat: req.query['lat'],
lon: req.query['lon']
}
}
// filters: {
// // all: [
// location: {
// center: [`${req.query['lat']}` , `${req.query['lon']}` ],
// unit: 'km',
// from: 0,
// to: `${req.query['distance']}`
// }
// // ]
}
})

```

Tried both of the above. Returns errors like:

**elasticsearch Client error {"errors":["Filters contains invalid keys for field: geo\_distance; keys: distance and location","Filters must specify 'from' and/or 'to' in a range filter for field: geo\_distance"]}**

he api logs show:

> ]  
> }

which makes me think for some reason the query isn't getting parsed or something?

Mappings are as follows:

> "location": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "fields": {  
> "date": {  
> "type": "date",  
> "format": "strict\_date\_time||strict\_date",  
> "ignore\_malformed": true  
> },  
> "delimiter": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "index\_options": "freqs",  
> "analyzer": "iq\_text\_delimiter"  
> },  
> "enum": {  
> "type": "keyword",  
> "ignore\_above": 2048  
> },  
> "float": {  
> "type": "double",  
> "ignore\_malformed": true  
> },  
> "joined": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "index\_options": "freqs",  
> "analyzer": "i\_text\_bigram",  
> "search\_analyzer": "q\_text\_bigram"  
> },  
> "location": {  
> "type": "geo\_point",  
> "ignore\_malformed": true,  
> "ignore\_z\_value": false

> "prefix": {

> "search\_analyzer": "q\_prefix"  
> },  
> "stem": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "analyzer": "iq\_text\_stem"  
> }  
> },  
> "index\_options": "freqs",  
> "analyzer": "iq\_text\_base"  
> },

Any advice on how to get this to work is greatly appreciate. have tried a lot of variation, makes me think there is an issue with the gcp firestore search extentions...
