Hello. 1. Does geohash\_cell filter support precision as distance? For example: "filter": { "geohash\_cell": { "precision": "810m", "mapbounds\_center": { "lat": 41.890411, "lon": 12.493473 }, "neighbors": true } } Example at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-geohash-cell-filter.html#query-dsl-geohash-cell-filter](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-geohash-cell-filter.html#query-dsl-geohash-cell-filter) has precision as integer(prefix size). 1. Does geo\_point type with geohash enabled support different precision for different records? For example one record would have location{precision: "850m", "lat":41.8901541870786,"lon":12.4923992156982} and another record in the same index would have location{precision: "450m", "lat":51.89014541870786,"lon":30.442359215653} Thank you so much! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi 1. Yes, it does. 2. The precision is needed in geo shapes only, not in geo points - geo points only have a geohash\_precisions. --Alex On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 9:50 AM, Damir Gaynetdinov \< [damir.gaynetdinov@gmail.com](mailto:damir.gaynetdinov@gmail.com)\> wrote: > Hello. > > 1.
