i have elasticsearch database of geo objects. I want to search the nearest objects

  • 0

i have elasticsearch database of geo objects.
I want to search the nearest objects around some geo_point in custom distance and then display them on google map.
using default elasticsearch filters – geo_distance filter, it works fine, but the problem is that returned pins are in eliptical range, not in circular range (as usually when you search anything in X km RADIUS) maybe screenshots would help to understand.

I don’t know where the problem can be, google maps only takes the result that elastic returns – set of pins to display

Does anybody know anything about this issue?

map without filtering

filtered map, the red circle shows actual border of searching

    When geo points are represented as arrays in elasticsearch they are following GeoJSON format, which is [lon, lat]. So, from elasticsearch perspective, your center pin is not in Paris but just off the coast of Somalia.
