I am using elasticsearch with bool/must/filter and in filter using the geo\_distance filter. Here are some sample queries:

Example 1:  
For this query as I am using only one must term with geo filter, I am able to get atleast 1 or more results.

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/indexname/\_search?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"query": {  
"bool" : {  
"must": {  
"term": { "name": "cafe" }  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_distance" : {  
"distance" : "20km",  
"pin.coordinates" : {  
"lat" : 13.9291040000,  
"lon" : -70.8269250000  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Example 2:

If I use **multiple must or should** along with the above query it is not displaying any hits/results

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/indexname/\_search?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"query": {  
"bool" : {  
"must": {  
"term": { "name": "cafe" }  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_distance" : {  
"distance" : "20km",  
"pin.coordinates" : {  
"lat" : 13.9291040000,  
"lon" : -70.8269250000  
}  
}  
},  
"should" : [  
{ "term" : { "category\_ol" : "cafe" } },  
{ "term" : { "name\_en" : "cafe" } }  
],  
"minimum\_should\_match" : 1,  
"boost" : 1.0  
}  
}  
}'

Anything wrong in the 2nd sample? Please give some solution. TIA
