What are the options to enable descriptive searching of geo documents via elastic search? We want a user to be able to search the following ways: - by the name of the location (associated with LatLong) - via their physical mobile location The search needs to return descriptive locations within the geo distance filter that we have set. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, I havent understood your current problem really (not sure what you mean with descriptive search/descriptive locations particularly). Does this mean a special sort of context for your searches? Searching by name or geo location (or both) is not a problem, so I guess there is something special in your question, I am not able to read out of it 🙂 --Alex On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 8:37 PM, Mike [mike.koch@nike.com](mailto:mike.koch@nike.com) wrote: > What are the options to enable descriptive searching of geo documents via > Elasticsearch? > > We want a user to be able to search the following ways: > > - by the name of the location (associated with LatLong) > - via their physical mobile location > > The search needs to return descriptive locations within the geo distance > filter that we have set. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I think you answered it---we were wondering about capability. It sounds like elastic search is capable of supporting both descriptive and LatLong searching.
