Hello list, I'm wondering how to achieve something that I'm gessing is not a rare feat, but I can't fathom how to manage it. Basically, what I would like to do is find the equivalent of the index\_shape variant of the geo\_shape filter, but using more than one indexed geo\_shapes. Let's say I have an indexed called "regions", with a "tag" field and a geo\_shape field. I also have a number of POIs indexed as geo\_shapes. I want to retrieve every POI inside regions tagged with a specific term. Appart from first querying on the region index and then using an "or" filter, which will make for a huge request, is there a way to ask ES for that result at the moment ? Thanks for your time. -- Alain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, correct, you need to specify a number of geo\_shape filters inside of an or filter. Maybe it is easier to simply tag the POI entities as well? --Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

It would have been if I didn't have a variety of shapes in which to check for the presence of POIs, with some of these shapes changing on a regular basis... I was looking at the structure of the geo\_shape filter and wondering how hard it would be to let the user enter a subquery whose return geo\_shapes would be merged in a shapecollection ? Should I create a "wishlist" entry on github ? Thanks for your help. -- Alain Perry 2014-04-26 2:27 GMT+02:00 Alexander Reelsen [alr@spinscale.de](mailto:alr@spinscale.de): > Hey, > > correct, you need to specify a number of geo\_shape filters inside of an or > filter.
