ES|QL ST_INTERSECTS function

Embedded
geomA
Expression that is either a geometry (geo_point, cartesian_point, geo_shape or cartesian_shape) or a geo-grid value (geohash, geotile, geohex). If null, the function returns null.
geomB

Expression that is either a geometry (geo_point, cartesian_point, geo_shape or cartesian_shape) or a geo-grid value (geohash, geotile, geohex). If null, the function returns null. The second parameter must also have the same coordinate system as the first. This means it is not possible to combine geo_* and cartesian_* parameters.

Returns true if two geometries intersect. They intersect if they have any point in common, including their interior points (points along lines or within polygons). This is the inverse of the ST_DISJOINT function. In mathematical terms: ST_Intersects(A, B) ⇔ A ⋂ B ≠ ∅
