I have a product database, where products have a set delivery zones,  
represented in elasticsearch as an array:

[  
{  
distance: double (in miles),  
location: geohash (source location of product/seller),  
deliveryprice: double  
}  
]

does anyone have any idea how I can filter using the distance within the  
document?

I know the co-ordinates of my users, and I like to filter out products that  
don't cannot be delivered to their location - in other words, where the  
distance "double" field is greater than the distance between their  
co-ordinates and the source co-ordinates of the product.

All the examples of goedistance filtering I've seen require the distance to  
be provided in the query - not analysed from the document itself.

I'm not sure if I can use scripting to do this - if so, how?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Tom.
