Finding point within box using MongoDB?

Question

Suppose the point has coordinates for a search within the box: 
(long:-155, lat:19)

If we have the box: SW - (-170, 10), NE (29,69) that everything is fine and we can find this point because it's inside this box.

But if we move the box a little bit the coordinates are SW - (144, 10), NE (-75,69)   that results are zero although the point is still inside of this box.

How to do it properly to find the point in the second situation?

You need to do a geoIntersect , not geoWithin

if you are using java to work with mongodb: view the answer: mongo geoIntersects with Spring Data
