Hi all. I want to be able to search with geo distance in ES 1.3.4. I did geo mapping: POST /geo/ { "mappings":{ "pin" : { "properties" : { "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point" } } } } } Added some data in this format: PUT /geo/location/1 { "pin" : { "location" : { "lat" : 42.4398181, "lon" : 21.466074 }, "text" : "Geolocation distance search" } } Tried to search with geo\_distance filter: POST geo/location/\_search { "query": {"filtered": { "query": { "match\_all": {}}, "filter": { "geo\_distance": { "distance": "500", "distance\_unit": "km", "pin.location": { "lat" : 42.1, "lon" : 21.1 } } } }} } And always getting 0 results even that this distance is 48.32 km. I tried many options and ES always returns 0 results to me. ( I used sense extension above) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It sounds like you created a mapping for type pin but sent documents with location type. I'd check the index creation command. Check the mapping for location. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > Le 19 oct. 2014 à 18:51, Driton Alija [dritonalija4@gmail.com](mailto:dritonalija4@gmail.com) a écrit : > > ## Hi all.

Hi David. Thank you for your reply and help. No I did the mapping for location not for pin. Here is the attachment from the mapping that I did. I appreciate your help.

Hi David. Thanks for your reply.I also received a solution from issues in Gig Hub repository (I was new to elasticsearch and mixed question place) . Here is the link for the others who want to make this example work : [Geo distance filter always returns 0 results · Issue #8152 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/8152) .Thank you again for your fast reply.
