I've used a nested location, and running into an issue of 'failed to find geo\_point field [location]' when doing a nested query.

I found this post from 2015 that is doing something very similar to what I'm doing, and it is also giving me the same error when I go to run the nested geo\_distance query: [https://gist.github.com/imotov/653bc34c693a1ef739fb](https://gist.github.com/imotov/653bc34c693a1ef739fb)

Running a non-nested query on the location like this doesn't give an error but also doesn't give results (which makes sense since locations are nested):

```
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test-idx/doc/_search' -d '
{
"filter": {
	"geo_distance_range": {
		"distance": "600km",
		"seller.address.location": {"lat": 49.00331,
                            "lon": 2.0834715}
	}
}
}'

```

I'm new and probably doing something silly 🙂 Thanks in advance!
