I am tried to create search queary with a values in 15m radios and between 3 weeks. I tried to execute this query:

> ```
> > "query": {
> > "bool": {
> > "must": {
> > "match_all": {}
> > }
> > , "filter": [
> > {
> > "geo_distance": {
> >      
> > "distance": "1000km",
> > "geoLocation": {
> > "lat": 31.966467334184614,
> > "lon": 35.83242623178664
> > }
> > }
> > ,
> > "range": {
> > "map_date": {
> > "gte": "now-3w/w",
> > "lte": "now/w"
> > }
> > }
> >     
> > }
> > ]
> > }}
> 
> ```

my date filed is : **map\_date** and my geo point filed is **geoLocation** I get this response :

```auto
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "parsing_exception",
        "reason" : "[geo_distance] malformed query, expected [END_OBJECT] but found [FIELD_NAME]",
        "line" : 18,
        "col" : 8
      }
    ],
    "type" : "x_content_parse_exception",
    "reason" : "[18:8] [bool] failed to parse field [filter]",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "parsing_exception",
      "reason" : "[geo_distance] malformed query, expected [END_OBJECT] but found [FIELD_NAME]",
      "line" : 18,
      "col" : 8
    }
  },
  "status" : 400
}

```
