i was trying to use the gt options for the geo_distance_range filter like:

{
  "geo_distance_range": {
    "gt": "50km",
    "location": {
      "lat": "51.16104233",
      "lon": "7.42149815"
    }
}

but it seems that the GeoDistanceRangeFilterParser depends on a to being available:

In 0.19.2, gt works fine, but it appears the the geo_distance_range requires an upper and lower limit. You can't specify just an upper or lower limit, eg: gt: '5km' or ''from: '5km'`

This works:

curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/geonames/_search?pretty=1'  -d '
{
   "filter" : {
      "geo_distance_range" : {
         "from" : "1km",
         "to" : "500km",
         "location" : {
            "lat" : "-6.6",
            "lon" : 54
         }
      }
   }
}
'

This doesn't:

curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/geonames/_search?pretty=1'  -d '
{
   "filter" : {
      "geo_distance_range" : {
         "to" : "500km",
         "location" : {
            "lat" : "-6.6",
            "lon" : 54
         }
      }
   }
}
'

could you then give a short overview of how to use the lt, gt etc parameters? there is no documentation or example queries in the docs :(

i would like to query all documents that are not within a a certain distance.

Just to note: I still think this is a bug, just a different bug from the one that you described :)

from is equivalent to gte (greater than or equal). to is equivalent lt (less than). You specify 'not within a range' which means that you should wrap your geo distance filter in a not filter
