# GEOINTERSECTS

The `GEOINTERSECTS` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents that have a document field that describes a location that intersects a specified geometric shape.

In the following examples, the shapes used in the queries are represented by black dotted lines, and the shapes in matching documents are represented by solid green lines.

Query with... | Query results...
--- | ---
POLYGON | Points that occur within the polygon, and lines or polygon regions that at least partially overlap it. If a document contains a MULTIPOLYGON, MULTILINESTRING, or MULTIPOINT, the document is returned when the query polygon intersects any part of the shape.
LINESTRING | Polygons and lines that intersect the line, and points that occur on the line. If a document contains a MULTIPOLYGON, MULTILINESTRING, or MULTIPOINT, the document is returned when the query line intersects any part of the shape.
POINT | Polygons that contain the point, lines on which the point occurs, and points that exactly match the point. If a document contains a MULTIPOLYGON, MULTILINESTRING, or MULTIPOINT, the document is returned when the query point intersects any part of the shape.
MULTIPOLYGON | Geometric shapes that intersect (overlap) any part of the specified MULTIPOLYGON.
MULTILINESTRING | Geometric shapes that intersect (overlap) any part of the specified MULTILINESTRING.
MULTIPOINT | Geometric shapes that intersect (overlap) any part of the specified MULTIPOINT.
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION | Geometric shapes that intersect (overlap) any of the objects in the specified GEOMETRYCOLLECTION.

## Format

    FieldText=GEOINTERSECTS{GEOMETRY}:POSITION

`GEOMETRY` | The geometric shape to query with, in Well-Known Text (WKT) format. For information about how to specify the shape, see Supported Well-Known Text Geometric Objects.
`POSITION` | The document field containing the position information. This field must contain unified geospatial location information. You can specify multiple field names, in the form `POSITION1:POSITION2:POSITION3`, and so on. A document is returned if at least one of the fields meets the requirements of the query.

NOTE: You can optimize this field specifier by configuring the position field with the `GeospatialType` field property.

## Example

    FieldText=GEOINTERSECTS{POLYGON((1 1, -1 1, 0 -2, 1 -1))}:LOCATION

This example matches all documents where the geospatial region described by the `LOCATION` field intersects a specified polygon with vertices at (1,1), (-1,1), (0,-2), (1,-1).
