Hi All, I have a question regarding how to use elastic search for my purpose I am building a carpooling app 1. So when some1 wants to post a ride shall index all lat long in the path or approximatly all important lat longs. 2. So now i have rides document with a list of location points 3. Will i be able to a geo distance search on th elist of lat longs to match any of the latlongs find the closest one it matches to ?

Hey, I do not think that 'indexing all the lat/longs" of a route is a good idea, if your system should scale (and have a working search). Having the important ones such as start/stop/via points should be sufficient. Regarding point 3, please look at > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.

Try Elasticsearch free today. there is also the new geo hash cell filter in 0.90, geoshape queries/filters a geo bounding box filter. Summed up: Plenty of stuff to play around with and see if it works for you. --Alex On Sun, Jul 14, 2013 at 4:47 AM, Akash Ashok [thehellmaker@gmail.com](mailto:thehellmaker@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi All, > I have a question regarding how to use Elasticsearch for my purpose > I am building a carpooling app > > 1.
