  • Geometry label enables you to provide a meaningful name for your spatial filter.
  • Spatial field specifies the geo_point or geo_shape field used to determine if a document matches the spatial relation with the specified geometry.
  • Spatial relation determines the spatial relation operator to use at search time. Only available when Spatial field is set to geo_shape.

Phrase filters
