Hi all, i've got a problem with a BoudingBox Query. When i do a search and send the query via get parameter everything works fine. If i do it via a request body i don't get a hit. Can you give me a hint what im doing wrong? # If i do a Boundingbox query with a get body i get no result. # If i do the same query with a get param i will get the expected result. # What is my fault? # Create Index + Mapping curl -XPOST localhost:9200/testpois5 -d '{ "settings" : { "number\_of\_shards" : 1 }, "mappings" : { "driver" : { "properties" : { "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point" } } } } }' # Create one driver curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/1](http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/1) -d '{"location":{"lat":53, "lon":9}}}' #do a search request with request Body curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/_search?pretty=true)' -d '{"query":{"match\_all":{}},"filter":{"geo\_bbox":{"location":{"top\_left":[9.935735,53.552467],"bottom\_right":[10.0,52.551963]}}}}' # Result # \> { # "took" : 0, # "timed\_out" : false, # "\_shards" : { # "total" : 1, # "successful" : 1, # "failed" : 0 # }, # "hits" : { # "total" : 0, # "max\_score" : null, # "hits" : [] # } #} # No Match found?

Hey, had a quick peek on your sample, my assumption is the following: - The query itself does not return any hits, because the longitude of the POI is outside the bounding box - The reason why your second query does return something is, that actually a match\_all query is executed, because you didnt specify a query. If you wanted to specify it, you would have to put the encoded body into the source parameter. The correct call would be curl -XGET ' [http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/\_search?source=ENCODING\_PARTY\_HERE](http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/_search?source=ENCODING_PARTY_HERE)... Hope this helps. --Alex On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 12:16 PM, Jan Ramm [j.ramm@mytaxi.net](mailto:j.ramm@mytaxi.net) wrote: > Hi all, > > i've got a problem with a BoudingBox Query. > When i do a search and send the query via get parameter everything works > fine. > If i do it via a request body i don't get a hit. > > Can you give me a hint what im doing wrong? > > # If i do a Boundingbox query with a get body i get no result. > > # If i do the same query with a get param i will get the expected result. > > # What is my fault? > > # Create Index + Mapping > > curl -XPOST localhost:9200/testpois5 -d '{ > "settings" : { > "number\_of\_shards" : 1 > }, > "mappings" : { > "driver" : { > "properties" : { > "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point" } > } > } > } > }' > > # Create one driver > > curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/1](http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/1) -d '{"location":{"lat":53, "lon":9}}}' > > #do a search request with request Body > curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/testpois5/driver/_search?pretty=true)' -d '{"query":{"match\_all":{}},"filter":{"geo\_bbox":{"location":{"top\_left":[9.935735,53.552467],"bottom\_right":[10.0,52.551963]}}}}' > > # Result > > # \> { > > # "took" : 0, > > # "timed\_out" : false, > > # "\_shards" : { > > # "total" : 1, > > # "successful" : 1, > > # "failed" : 0 > > # }, > > # "hits" : { > > # "total" : 0, > > # "max\_score" : null, > > # "hits" : > > # } > > #} > > # No Match found?
