Hello ,  
let body = {  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match": {  
}  
},  
{  
"geo\_distance": {  
"distance": targetDistance+"km",  
"location": {  
"lat": location.lat,  
"lon": location.lon  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"sort": [  
{  
"\_geo\_distance": {  
"location":[location.lat,location.lon],  
"order": "asc",  
"unit": "km",  
"mode": "min",  
"distance\_type": "arc",  
"ignore\_unmapped": true  
}  
}  
]  
};  
Error {  
error: {  
root\_cause: [[Object] ],  
type: 'parsing\_exception',  
reason: 'No text specified for text query',

Hello,  
the problem solved using

```auto
let body = {
       "query": {
         "bool": {
           "must": [
             {
               "exists": {
                 "field": "location"
             }
             },
             {
               "geo_distance": {
                 "distance": targetDistance+"km",
                 "location": {
                   "lat": location.lat,
                   "lon": location.lon
                 }
               }
             }
           ]
         }
       },
       "sort": [
         {
           "_geo_distance": {
             "location": {
               "lat": location.lat,
               "lon": location.lon
             },
             "order": "asc"
           }
         }
       ]
 };

```

with `client.search({index: index, body: body})`
