Hi, What's the best way to give a GeoPoint boost at the mapping time? I added a boost to List of GeoPoint field at the mapping time, but I don't see it doing anything with the score returned when I search on that geoPoint. Here's how I added it in. .startObject() .startObject(TYPE) .startObject("properties") .startObject("sen\_location").field("type", "geo\_shape").field("geohash", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).endObject() .startObject("fc\_location").field("type", "geo\_shape").field("geohash", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).endObject() .startObject("tgt\_location").field("type", "geo\_shape").field("geohash", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).endObject() .startObject("corner\_location").field("type", "geo\_shape").field("geohash", true).field("lat\_lon", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).endObject() .startObject("senGeoPointLst").field("type", "geo\_point").field("geohash", true).field("lat\_lon", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).field("boost", 1).endObject() .startObject("fcGeoPointLst").field("type", "geo\_point").field("geohash", true).field("lat\_lon", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).field("boost", 3).endObject() .startObject("tgtGeoPointLst").field("type", "geo\_point").field("geohash", true).field("lat\_lon", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).field("boost", 2).endObject() .startObject("cornerGeoPointLst").field("type", "geo\_point").field("geohash", true).field("lat\_lon", true).field("geohash\_prefix", true).field("boost", 4).endObject() .startObject("toaDTimeMin").field("type", "date").field("format", "date\_time").endObject() .startObject("toaDTimeMax").field("type", "date").field("format", "date\_time").endObject() .endObject() .endObject() .endObject(); Is this correct? Why its not working? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I am curious, what is your objective? Are you trying to do a geo search and rank locations that are closer in distance to a certain point higher in the hits result list? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Binh, I have three different list of geopoints and I want to rank the document according to which set of geopoint matched the given geopoint within the radium given. So if you see I have given different boost number to each of these three geopoints. Thanks! On Thursday, March 27, 2014 2:17:35 PM UTC-4, Binh Ly wrote: > I am curious, what is your objective?

You can probably do this with a function\_score query. The idea is something like this: localhost:9200/\_search { "query": { "function\_score": { "functions": [ { "filter": { "geo\_distance" : { "distance" : "1km", "cornerGeoPointLst" : { "lat" : 40, "lon" : -70 } } }, "boost\_factor": 4 }, { "filter": { "geo\_distance" : { "distance" : "1km", "fcGeoPointLst" : { "lat" : 40, "lon" : -70 } } }, "boost\_factor": 3 }, { "filter": { "geo\_distance" : { "distance" : "1km", "tgtGeoPointLst" : { "lat" : 40, "lon" : -70 } } }, "boost\_factor": 2 } ] } } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks, Binh! I did try that and that works. I am still curious to find out if there's any way to add the same during mapping time?
