Geo queries

Elasticsearch supports two types of geo data: geo_point fields which support lat/lon pairs, and geo_shape fields, which support points, lines, circles, polygons, multi-polygons, etc.

The queries in this group are:

geo_bounding_box query

Finds documents with geoshapes or geopoints which intersect the specified rectangle.

geo_distance query

Finds documents with geoshapes or geopoints within the specified distance of a central point.

geo_grid query

Finds documents with:

Geoshapes or geopoints which intersect the specified geohash
Geoshapes or geopoints which intersect the specified map tile
Geopoints which intersect the specified H3 bin

geo_polygon query

Find documents with geoshapes or geopoints which intersect the specified polygon.

geo_shape query

Finds documents with geoshapes or geopoints which are related to the specified geoshape. Possible spatial relationships to specify are: intersects, contained, within and disjoint.
