ElasticSearch how to setup geo_point

I'm trying to setup a geo_point object on ES 1.0.0 and run a simple proof of concept query against it but the query is failing to return any hits. Here are my setup steps:

1) Create the mapping:

PUT jay/geotest/_mapping
{
    "geotest" : {
        "properties" : {
            "name" : {
                "type" : "string"
            },
            "pin" : {
                "type": "geo_point"   
            }
        }
    }
}

2) verify the mapping:

GET jay/geotest/_mapping

3) Add a piece of data

put jay/geotest/1
{
   "name": "test1",
   "pin": {
      "lat": 0,
      "lon": 0
   }
}

4) query for that data:

GET jay/geotest/_search?search_type=count
{
    "filtered" : {
        "filter" : {
            "geo_distance" : {
                "distance" : "100km",
                "pin" : {
                    "lat" : 0,
                    "lon" : 0
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

My expected result is that I will get one hit returned but instead nothing is returned by the query.

Thanks in advance!

I think you're missing the "query" part of the request.

POST jay/geotest/_search
{
   "query": {
      "filtered": {
         "filter": {
            "geo_distance": {
               "distance": "100km",
               "pin": {
                  "lat": 0,
                  "lon": 0
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

I've just tested your steps, and making that change returns the document.
