I am trying to perform a geo distance search globally. I have used lat &  
lon from france ( "sites.location" : "2.219239,48.843028") and searched by  
120km geo distance filter. Found no results. If I use UK geopoint it works.  
_I want to know if there is a seperate plugin or any other way to perform  
geo distance search globally?_

curl -X GET "[http://localhost:9200/business/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/business/_search?pretty=true)" -d '{

What do you mean by globally? the mentioned query you executed will only include the ones matching the required filtered distance. Maybe you can share a test case for it?
