[[geohash-prefix]]
=== `geohash_prefix`
Geohashes are a form of lat/lon encoding which divides the earth up into
a grid. Each cell in this grid is represented by a geohash string. Each
cell in turn can be further subdivided into smaller cells which are
represented by a longer string. So the longer the geohash, the smaller
(and thus more accurate) the cell is.
While the <<geohash,`geohash`>> option enables indexing the geohash that
corresponds to the lat/lon point, at the specified
<<geohash-precision,precision>>, the `geohash_prefix` option will also
index all the enclosing cells as well.
For instance, a geohash of `drm3btev3e86` will index all of the following
terms: [ `d`, `dr`, `drm`, `drm3`, `drm3b`, `drm3bt`, `drm3bte`, `drm3btev`,
`drm3btev3`, `drm3btev3e`, `drm3btev3e8`, `drm3btev3e86` ].
The geohash prefixes can be used with the
<<query-dsl-geohash-cell-query,`geohash_cell` query>> to find points within a
particular geohash, or its neighbours:
