Hello everybody,

I'm new to elatsicasearch I 'm tryning to have geodistance filter working !

I try to follow differnet piece of advises of the following thread:  
[http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Update-mapping-td3952162.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Update-mapping-td3952162.html)

But I still can't get it to work correctly

For my test Im' using the Chrome extesion called sense  
(that's why my syntax is slightly different than the one with curl)

Anyway... Below you will find my different test,  
from the creation of the index, the mapping, the insert, and the different  
unsuccesfull search with geodistance filtering i've tried...

I hope some one could help me

Thx by advance

Florent,

You probably just want to be careful with your index names, type, mapping,  
and actual document. So if you do something like this, it should work:

1. PUT [http://localhost:9200/try](http://localhost:9200/try)

2. PUT [http://localhost:9200/try/pin/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/try/pin/_mapping)  
{  
"pin": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point",  
"lat\_lon": "true"  
},  
"text": {  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}

3. POST [http://localhost:9200/try/pin/1](http://localhost:9200/try/pin/1)  
{  
"location" : {  
"lat" : 40.20,  
"lon" : -71.44  
},  
"text" : "a great hostel"  
}

4. GET [http://localhost:9200/try/\_search](http://localhost:9200/try/_search)  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_distance": {  
"distance": "1200km",  
"location": {  
"lat": 40.15,  
"lon": -71.4  
}  
}  
}  
}
