I think the problem is that you have an extra aggregations object  
surrounding the geo\_bounds aggregation. Try the following:

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/postings/\_search](http://localhost:9200/postings/_search)" -d'  
{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"filter": {  
"geo\_bounding\_box": {  
"point": {  
"bottom\_right": [  
104.45856200712711,  
52.208730692828844  
],  
"top\_left": [  
104.19077025908017,  
52.34035674074375  
]  
}  
}  
},  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}  
},  
"aggregations": {  
"cells": {  
"geohash\_grid": {  
"field": "point",  
"precision": 6  
},  
"aggregations": {  
"lat": {  
"avg": {  
"script": "doc["point"].lat"  
}  
},  
"lon": {  
"avg": {  
"script": "doc["point"].lon"  
}  
},  
"hits": {  
"top\_hits": {  
"\_source": {  
"include": [  
"short\_description"  
]  
},  
"size": 1  
}  
},  
"bounds": {  
"geo\_bounds": {  
"field": "point"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"size": 0  
}'
