Hi friends, I've done a bit of research and have yet to achieve the AHA! moment in my geo spatial searching troubles. I've created a gist of the way i'm structuring my indexes for your review: [https://gist.github.com/ericuldall/a2e08503b1321b9fcc67](https://gist.github.com/ericuldall/a2e08503b1321b9fcc67) I am able to see my documents when I do a search against all docs in my index, but when I add the geo\_distance filter it returns 0, even if use the exact lat, lon of a record in my index. Any help is much appreciated. I'll be eagerly awaiting any feedback. Thank you, Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

So, I decided to switch to a simpler mapping and it resolved the problem. Instead of using "pin.location" i'm just using location now. Works for me! Good day!
