Hello everyone, I know I am using elasticaphp but It happened also in elasticsearch..... I am using the class GeoDistance in order to get the location around (example : 2km ) $filter = new Elastica\Filter\*_GeoDistance_\*('location', array('lat' =\> $lat, 'lon' =\> $lng), $distance . 'km'); then, I added a script to get the distance in km ('doc[\u0027location\u0027].distanceInKm(lat,lon)') $script = new Elastica\Script('doc[\u0027location\u0027].distanceInKm(lat,lon)', array('lat' =\> $lat, 'lon' =\> $lng)); $score-\>setQuery($es\_bool); // other conditions (matches) $score-\>setBoostMode('replace'); $score-\>addScriptScoreFunction($script); So, I dont know what is going on because I got distances that are greater than 2km for a little bit for example (2,12km) Additionally, I do not see any variable called distance or something similar but I got a variable called SCORE so i guessed that is the distance between the two geo points and I set boost to replace, Am I right? Any ideas? Thanks ---
