Boosting on geo data

is it possible to provide some filter or query that allows me to boost on
geo-distance?

i.e. if there is a document with a location that is within 100km i want to
boost it to the top. if it isn't within the range, i don't want to boost it
at all.

I think you achieve it by combining Custom Filters Score Query
(http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/custom-filters-score-query.html)
with Geo Distance Filter
(Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic)

yeah, had the same idea.

this kinda works:

{
"query": {
"custom_filters_score": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"filters": [
{
"filter": {
"geo_distance_range": {
"from": "0km",
"to": "100km",
"location": {
"lat": "47.16104233",
"lon": "8.42149815"
}
}
},
"boost": "3"
}
],
"score_mode": "first"
}
},
"filter": {
"term": {
"ck_names": "software"
}
}
}

but this gives me an error:

{
"query": {
"term": {
"ck_names": "software"
},
"custom_filters_score": {
"query": {
"match_all": {}
},
"filters": [
{
"filter": {
"geo_distance_range": {
"from": "0km",
"to": "100km",
"location": {
"lat": "47.16104233",
"lon": "8.42149815"
}
}
},
"boost": "3"
}
],
"score_mode": "first"
}
}
}

In the second case you cannot have two queries: "term" and
"custom_filter_score" queries on the same level. If you want the term query
to affect the score just replace match_all with term.
