I have this document (the structure of document can be changed)

```
"id" : "1",
          "location" : {
            "type" : "geometrycollection",
            "geometries" : [
              {
                "type" : "circle",
                "coordinates" : [
                  47.3188019,
                  47.3188019
                ],
                "radius" : 500
              },
              {
                "type" : "circle",
                "coordinates" : [
                  47.3188019,
                  47.3188019
                ],
                "radius" : 2000
              }
            ]
          }
        }

```

when i tried to find intersections or within(radius 500), with this geo queres  
{  
"query":{  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_shape": {  
"location": {  
"shape": {  
"type": "circle",  
"coordinates": [  
47.3188019,  
47.3188019  
],  
"radius": 500  
},  
"relation": "within"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
it don't find any document, but when a changed it to radius=2000, it working  
so the questions, is it possible to find document with radius=500

I think the system is working as expected. If you use a geometry collection, the query only returns the document if all the geometry collection is within the query provided.

If you want to treat every element of the geometry collection as a shape, I think your best option is to model the field as a nested field, and add every shape in the geometry collection as a separate nested field.
