Hi,

I posted a new thread on SO about constructing a query with multiple terms,  
instead of cut/paste, the following link:

If the location is mapped as a geo\_point, you can't do (by default) direct  
searches on lat and lon, you ned to have them indexed as well (see the  
mapping for geo\_point on how to do it). Also note that by default lat and  
lon are normalized, so the values you used in your sample will be  
normalized.

Thanks for hints, I got it to work now, integration testing was also useful  
for constructing geo queries.
