I've seen this topic in several places but haven't found a resolution to it  
yet.

I want to match a polygon that contains a point.

I've used searches similar to the following:

{  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_shape": {  
"location": {  
"shape": {  
"type": "point",  
"coordinates": [  
[  
44.15,  
20.65  
]  
]  
},  
"relation": "contains"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

But have not had any luck.

Is this possible? I have the latest version of ES. If it's possible is  
there an example search somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
