I'm trying to use elastic search to do geo searches. My data comes via  
the couchbase connecter (and theirin lies the issue). I can make the  
searches work on the sample tweet data if I follow the steps  
here [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16113439/elasticsearch-geo-distance-filter-with-multiple-locations-in-array-possible](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16113439/elasticsearch-geo-distance-filter-with-multiple-locations-in-array-possible)  
but something about the couchbase mapping isn't doing it and the doc is  
rather opaque.

Data looks like this

{  
"id": "7719300",  
"hid": 18438,  
"title": "An article title",  
"stamp": "2013-10-10T03:49:00+0000",  
"site": "where it came from",  
"location": [  
{  
"lat": 37.4219444444,  
"lng": -122.084444444  
},  
{  
"lat": 35.458606,  
"lng": -119.355165  
}  
]  
}

There can be multiple locations associated with each record.

The template is:

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/\_template/couchbase](http://localhost:9200/_template/couchbase) -d '{  
"template" : "_",  
"order" : 10,  
"mappings" : {  
"couchbaseCheckpoint" : {  
"\_source" : {  
"includes" : ["doc._"]  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"store\_no\_index": {  
"match": "_",  
"mapping": {  
"store" : "no",  
"index" : "no",  
"include\_in\_all" : false  
}  
}  
}  
]  
},  
"default" : {  
"\_source" : {  
"includes" : ["meta._"]  
},  
"properties" : {  
"meta" : {  
"type" : "object",  
"include\_in\_all" : false  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Then I create the index.

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/geo;](http://localhost:9200/geo;)

add a mapping for the geo\_point

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/geo/couchbaseDocument/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/geo/couchbaseDocument/_mapping) -d '{  
"couchbaseDocument": {  
"properties": {  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"location": {  
"type": "geo\_point",  
"lat\_lon": true  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

and turn on replication.

I can't seem to get a search to work.

curl -XPOST "127.0.0.1:9200/geo/\_search" -d'{  
"query": {  
"filtered" : {  
"query" : {  
"match\_all" : {}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"geo\_distance" : {  
"distance" : "200000km",  
"couchbaseDocument.doc.location" : {  
"lat" : 40.00,  
"lon" : -70.00  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

returns no matches I've tried "couchbaseDocument.doc.location",  
"doc.location" and plain "location"

what am I missing?
