I'm trying to do a query on Elasticsearch using the query string interface on a Geolocation. Specifically, I am trying to return all documents within a circle (point with radius). This is clearly possible using the full query DSL based on JSON. However, I can't find the syntax for the same search using query strings in the docs here: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax) Does this mean geo queries are not supported by query string queries?

As far as I know, it's not possible. > Le 15 oct. 2014 à 02:18, [tom@coffeemeetsbagel.com](mailto:tom@coffeemeetsbagel.com) a écrit : > > I'm trying to do a query on Elasticsearch using the query string interface on a Geolocation.
