As far as I can see there are a couple of issues here:

- The value in the query is not in the interval specified for the example document.
- If you are looking for a range that covers the IP in the query I think you may have mixed up the `lte` and `gte` clauses and should flip them.

In given query I tried all possible combination already nathing worked and ipToLong and ipForLong are just long variable then what do u mean by intervals here and again I tried all combination include\_lower and include\_upper .one more thing ,putting my point again If you run this clauses of range in two different bool queries this works and I menton again both are different fields if you run in single then doesn't so fliping should have no mean with it.

I tried the following example based on what you wrote. That's the typical script which could help. So please, next time, provide such a script. It's easy to read and understand what you are doing.

```auto
DELETE test 
PUT test
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "ipFromLong": {
        "type": "long"
      },
      "ipToLong": {
        "type": "long"
      }
    }
  }
}
POST test/_doc
{
  "ipToLong": 28147177550,
  "ipFromLong": 28147177543
}

```

From that example, we can test your subqueries:

```auto
GET test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "ipToLong": {
        "to": 28147177551
      }
    }
  }
}

```

This one gives the hit. Why this? Because for `ipToLong`: 28147177550 \< 28147177551

But:

```auto
GET test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "ipFromLong": {
        "from": 28147177551
      }
    }
  }
}

```

This one gives no hit. Why this? Because for `ipFromLong` 28147177543 \< 28147177551. So it can't match.

That's why your query can not match anything.

I'm now trying to understand what exactly you want to do actually.  
And I wonder if you are trying to find values in intervals. In which case, I'd highly recommend using:
