Twitter data have a field called "place.bounding\_box.coordinates" which give a rectangle bounding box of the user location using array type (e.g.,85.605, 30.356, -85.605, 35.001, -80.743, 35.001, -80.743, 30.356). I want to apply geoshape filter to search the tweets with "place.bounding\_box.coordinates" intersect with a given bounding box "{"lat":57, "lon":-96} to {"lat":-41, "lon":-73}".

I tried putting the following in the Kibana search bar, and it gives an error.  
place.bounding\_box.coordinates: "{"lat":57, "lon":-96} to {"lat":-41, "lon":-73}"

If I change the "place.bounding\_box.coordinates" into a point coordinate "coordinates.coordinates", it will work, and which will be geo\_bounding\_box filter. However, I want to include those user's bounding boxes intersect with the given bounding box. Could anyone let me know how to apply this geoshape filter in Kibana?

Thanks.
