Elastic result search by text with nearest distance using latitude and longitude

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Dear All,

I am using elastic for venue search in that i do have title, latitude and
longitude.
I have some what 4 lac data.

My concern is that i wanted to search the text which will produce the
relevant result with nearest distance.

Right now i am using "geo_distance"

you can see my below code so that you can come to know what i am using,

curl -X PUT 'http://localhost:9200/adminvenue/?pretty=true' -d '
{
"settings" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"venue_analyzer" : {
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"filter" : ["standard", "lowercase", "venue_metaphone",
"asciifolding"]
}
},
"filter" : {
"venue_metaphone" : {
"type" : "phonetic",
"encoder" : "metaphone",
"replace" : false
}
}
}
}
}

curl -X PUT
'http://localhost:9200/adminvenue/jos_content/_mapping?pretty=true' -d '
{
"jos_content" : {
"properties" : {

  "title" : {
  "type": "string",
  "index_analyzer": "venue_analyzer",
  "search_analyzer": "venue_analyzer"
  },
  "location" : {

"type" : "geo_point",
"lat_lon": true
}

}

}
}

$result = $es->search(array(
"query" => array(
"dis_max" => array(
"queries" => array(
0 => array(
"field" => array(
"title" => "palexpo"
)
)
)
)
),
"from" => 0,
"size" => 100000,
"filter" => array(
"geo_distance" => array(
"distance" => "10000mi",
"jos_content.location" => array(
"lat" => "37.77519600",
"lon" => "-122.41920400"
)
)
),
"sort" => array(
//0 => "_score",
0 => array(
"_geo_distance" => array(
"jos_content.location" => array(
"lat" => "37.77519600",
"lon" => "-122.41920400"
),
"order" => "asc",
"unit" => "km"
)
)
)
)
);

Sorry for big code,
Above code gives me nearest distance venue but not palexpo which i actually
search, palexpo comes after 20 25 results.

Please help if you have any suggestion,
Thanks,
Vallabh

I'm curious, can you show the results (lon, lat values) of the first 25
matches?

Thanks for replying Binh,

Yeap first 25 matches having closer distance (lat,lon values) but they are
not relevant matches.

For Ex.
When i search for "palexpo" from San Francisco (37.77519600,-122.41920400)
it gives me,

  1. PLUGZ -- 37.80664300 -122.41628300 -- 2.181 Miles from san francisco
  2. Laemmle's Monica 4-plex -- 34.01522650 -118.49798840 -- 340.395 Miles
  3. Riverside Cinema Six Plex -- 35.16709000 -114.57260000 -- 472.071 Miles
  4. Paramount Tri-Plex -- 43.48080000 -111.99220000 -- 673.978 Miles
    .
    .
    .
    .
  5. Chez les Ploucs 2 -- 44.84471380 -0.57991900 -- 5683.384 Miles
  6. Palexpo -- 46.23106930 6.11826660 -- 5821.611 Miles from san francisco

I know it is sorting by lat,lon values but all 36 results are not relevant.
I hope u will understand Binh.

Thanks,
Vallabh

Oh I see, sounds like you want to sort by relevance and then have the
distance factored into the relevance score also. You might want to take a
look at the function_score query:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html#_using_function_score

In it, you can combine say a match query with a function where you set the
origin of your geo_point as well as some distance and decay parameters and
that will influence your score based on distance from your origin point.
