Hi, I'm a bit confused with this. If have results in elasticsearch with lat and long coordinates, and I search using lat, long and distance parameters, can elastic search return all the results within that given area without me having to use any third party plugins? Do I need any external geo-data, or is it enough that I have my co-ordinates already? James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It's a bit hard to word this so please bear with me. I want my users to be able to search by place-name, but elasticsearch needs co-ordinates. I have a premade SQL schema with place-names associated with co-ordinates. How can I implement this from my PHP website? A) On form submit, get my PHP website to do an SQL lookup to get the co-ordinate from the place-name and send the co-ordinate to elasticsearch. B) Import my place-name to co-ordinate database into elasticsearch, then on form submit send the place-name to elasticsearch and have elasticsearch do the conversion from place-name to location. I guess what I am saying is, can I use elasticsearch as a geocoder as part of my search query or will it only accept co-ordinates?
