Hello to everyone.  
I try to search by geoShapeQuery:

```
 @PostMapping("/findLogsByValues")
    @Transactional
    public ResponseEntity findLogsByValues(@RequestBody ElasticSearchLogRequest esLogRequest) {
if (esLogRequest.getLocation() != null) {
            try {
                bqb.filter(QueryBuilders.geoShapeQuery("location", ShapeBuilders.
                        newMultiPoint(new CoordinatesBuilder().
                        coordinate(esLogRequest.getLocation().getLat(), esLogRequest.getLocation().getLon()).build())).
                        relation(ShapeRelation.INTERSECTS));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
 sourceBuilder.query(bqb);
searchRequest.source(sourceBuilder);
        SearchResponse searchResponse = null;
        try {
            searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

```

For request I use JSON:  
{  
"location":{  
"lat":50.4501,  
"lon":30.5234  
}  
}

And get such error:  
**_in the comments_**

This is how I saved GeoPoint to ES:

```
try {
            XContentBuilder builder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder();
            builder.startObject();
            {
                builder.field("location", elasticSearchLogs.getLocation());   
            }
            builder.endObject();
}

```

where getLocation returns GeoPoint (field GeoPoint location)  
When I look through Kibana on saved longitute and latitude I see:

What should I do for searching with the help of location(GeoPoint)?

geoShape Query works on shapes AFAIK [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.1/geo-shape.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.1/geo-shape.html)

As I understant for GeoPoint I have to use   
QueryBuilders.geoBoundingBoxQuery(), but I haven't find example of implementation.  
Can you give an example?

What type of QueryBuilders I have to use for searching only with one location parameters(lat, lon) of type GeoPoint ?

geoBoundingBoxQuery  
is one of them indeed: [https://artifacts.elastic.co/javadoc/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/6.1.2/org/elasticsearch/index/query/QueryBuilders.html#geoBoundingBoxQuery-java.lang.String-](https://artifacts.elastic.co/javadoc/org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/6.1.2/org/elasticsearch/index/query/QueryBuilders.html#geoBoundingBoxQuery-java.lang.String-)

But, if I need to search for logs having only one GeoPoint... In geoBoundingBoxQuery, I have to put 2 points. If I use the same coordinates for 2 points, I get an error: "top cannot be the same as bottom: "  
How I can search having only one GeoPoint?

If you scroll the documentation a bit, you'll see:

Ok, I think method geoDistanceQuery will work  
But right know (when I using this method) I get an error when try to find by geo location:

```
Suppressed: org.elasticsearch.client.ResponseException: method [GET], host [http://192.168.3.43:9200], URI [/_search?typed_keys=true&ignore_unavailable=false&expand_wildcards=open&allow_no_indices=true&search_type=query_then_fetch&batched_reduce_size=512], status line [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request]

```

And I think, it's due to incorrect saving of GeoPoint. I've added the print screen of kibana behind. It's how my GeoPoint is saved. And I have added the code also.  
What I am doing wrong during saving process?

Yeah probably `location` is not a `geo_point` in your mapping.  
Check your mapping with `GET indexname/_mapping`

</div>

Result is

```
 "location": {
            "properties": {
              "lat": {
                "type": "float"
              },
              "lon": {
                "type": "float"
              }
            }
          }

```

But, how properly save GeoPoint? O maybe my json for saving is incorrect...  
For saving I used two types of jsons and both save incorrect.

```
{
location": "13.500544, 52.530286"
}

{
"location":{
"lat":13.400544,
"lon":52.530286
}
}
```

That's what I said. Your mapping is incorrect. Fix your mapping first.

So:

DELETE the index  
PUT the new index with a correct mapping  
Index your documents
