Hi,

I've created an index with the mapping below (I'm using pyes, but I  
reproduced the steps with curl) and I can't get the geo query to  
return any results. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

1. create index and mapping

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/locations\_index'

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/locations\_index/location/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/locations_index/location/_mapping)' -d '  
{  
"location":{  
"properties":{  
"longId":{  
"type":"long",  
"store":"yes"  
},  
"id":{  
"include\_in\_all":"false",  
"index":"not\_analyzed",  
"type":"string",  
"store":"yes"  
},  
"pin":{  
"type":"geo\_point",  
"store":"yes"  
}  
}  
}  
}'

1. populate index

curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/locations\_index/location/rd\_1700](http://localhost:9200/locations_index/location/rd_1700)' -d '  
{  
"longId": 1700,  
"id": "id\_1700",  
"pin": {  
"lat": 40.740000000000002,  
"lon": 73.989999999999995  
}  
}'

1. run a geo query

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/locations\_index/location/\_search](http://localhost:9200/locations_index/location/_search)' -d '  
{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 10,  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_distance": {  
"distance": "10km",  
"pin": {  
"lat": 40.74,  
"lon": -73.99  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

I can see the document I index via the head plugin, but I the query  
doesn't return it.

It returns:  
{  
"took":16,  
"timed\_out":false,  
"\_shards":{  
"total":5,  
"successful":5,  
"failed":0  
},  
"hits":{  
"total":0,  
"max\_score":null,  
"hits":[

```
  ]

```

}  
}

Thank you

Look at the longitude you've indexed versus the one you are search for. Fix  
that error and this query should work fine.
