Is there a difference between indexing envelopes or polygons.

[Nicolas THOMASSON]

Hello,

I'm new to ES. Please forgive me if I'm asking something stupid.

Is there a fundamental difference between indexing an envelope or indexing 
a polygon ?

For example if I define the area as a envelope

{
      "frame":{
        "type":"envelope",
        "coordinates": [[3,4],[1,2]]
      }
}

or as a polygon

{
      "frame":{
        "type":"polygon",
        "coordinates": [[[3,4],[3,2],[1,2],[1,4],[3,4]]]
      }
}

As in my comprehension they both define the same area, should I be able to 
perform the same queries whatever the way I defined the area ? (Currently I 
have a search query that returns wrong results on the envelope and seems to 
perform well on the polygon.)

Thanks for your help,

Nicolas
