-// CONSOLE
-
-Supports the same point location parameter and query options as the
-<<query-dsl-geo-distance-query,geo_distance>>
-filter. And also support the common parameters for range (lt, lte, gt,
-gte, from, to, include_upper and include_lower).
-
-[float]
-==== Ignore Unmapped
-
-When set to `true` the `ignore_unmapped` option will ignore an unmapped field
-and will not match any documents for this query. This can be useful when
-querying multiple indexes which might have different mappings. When set to
-`false` (the default value) the query will throw an exception if the field
-is not mapped.
