geo_distance doesn't return any hit Elasticsearch - elasticsearch

Question

Have a problem with this query, when I use geo_distance filter, nothing returned from query. When I remove it I get proper results. Query is bellow:
GET _search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": {
"geo_distance": {
"distance": 20,
"distance_unit": "km",
"coordinates": [48.8488576, 2.3354223]
}
},
"must": {
"term": {
"_type": {
"value": "staff"
}
}
},
"must_not": [
{
"term": {
"cabinet.zipcode": {
"value": "75006"
}
}
},
{
"term": {
"next_availability_in_days": {
"value": "-1"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
I would appreciate if someone gives me a hint.
UPDATE
When I run Elasticsearch Ruby DSL with same query logic, I get proper results:
<Elasticsearch::Model::Searching::SearchRequest:0x007ff335763560
#definition=
{:index=>["development_app_scoped_index_20170428134744",
"development_app_scoped_index_20170428134744"], :type=>["staff", "light_staff"],
:body=>
{:query=>
{:bool=>
{:must_not=>[
{:term=>{"cabinet.zipcode"=>75006}},
{:term=> {:next_availability_in_days=>-1}}
],
:must=>[
{:term=>{:_type=>"staff"}}
],
:filter=>{:geo_distance=>
{:coordinates=>
{:lat=>48.8488576, :lon=>2.3354223},
:distance=>"6km"
}
}}},
:sort=>[
{:type=>{:order=>"desc"}},
{"_geo_distance"=>{"coordinates"=>"48.8488576,2.3354223", "order"=>"asc",
"unit"=>"km"}},
{:next_availability_in_days=>{:order=>"asc"}},
{:priority=>{:order=>"asc"}}
]
}}
So this is really weird and I'm not sure what's going wrong in ES syntax, but it definitely should work as expected.
Thanks.

There is probably nothing in the range that you have entered.
Try to increase the "distance": 20 field to "distance": 500 and check the results then. For example the distance between these two geo points [0,0] and [0,1] is ~138.3414KM .
Another suggestion is to get rid of the "distance_unit" field and put the
and put the KM inside the "distance" field as following:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": {
"geo_distance": {
"distance": "20km",
"coordinates": [
48.8488576,
2.3354223
]
}
}
}
}
}
