Hi,

In old ES we had the function "geo\_distance\_range" that allows to filter everything between, let's say by example, 20k and 50km.

When I look at the documentation, they propose to use geo distance aggregations:

> **[Geo distance range Query | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.5\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/query-dsl-geo-distance-range-query.html)**

But, how can I use the aggregation to create such filter, I have search for an example, try during hours to achieve such query... no way !

Here is an example of query:

> "query": {  
> "bool" : {  
> "must" : {  
> "match\_all" : {}  
> },  
> "filter" : {  
> "geo\_distance" : {  
> "distance" : "50km",  
> "geoLocations" : [{{longitude}}, {{latitude}}]  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

If someone has an idea to help ?

Thanks a lot 😉

Cannot you use a `must_not` clause for the inner ring to remove those hits?
